senatordave1: You try to sound educated but you come off as dumb. You must be one of those wishy-washy Uduaghan, Akpabio supporters. FYI I am from the SS not the east and I know Tompolo personally. I just called my contacts in his political family. There is not an iota of truth to this news. |

Ex-armed men, once notorious for the long-run militancy in Nigeria’s
oil-rich Niger Delta, are set to endorse President Muhammadu
Buhari’s re-election bid, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.
The endorsement is to come at a press conference scheduled to
hold in Port Harcourt today, Wednesday. The conference is to be
addressed by Victor Ebikabowei, also known as General Boyloaf, a
source close to Boyloaf told PREMIUM TIMES.
PREMIUM TIMES has previewed the text of Boyloaf’s address,
which notes the tension between the ex-militant leaders, now
cooperating under the aegis of Peace Ambassadors of the Niger
Delta, and the Buhari government at its inception.
It reads: “In spite of the tense beginning and moments we have had
with the current administration following his defeat of our brother
Goodluck Jonathan, we have formed a new partnership for the Niger
Delta and have seen a deep-seated commitment to addressing the
issues that we in the region are facing.
“We have to give special credit to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for
painstakingly leading the engagements in the Niger Delta and
assuring us of his plans.”
Apart from Boyloaf, other ex-warriors believed to be at the vanguard
of the move are Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, wanted by
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over allegations of
money laundering; Ateke Tom, now a traditional ruler; Bibrope Ajube,
also known as General Shoot-at-Sight; and Farah Dagogo, who is the
Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the Bonny/Degema federal
constituency election.
“In the Niger Delta, these are people who matter,” said our source,
playing down the influence of Edwin Clark, respected Niger Delta
leader who is supporting PDP’s Atiku Abubakar. “Edwin Clark is well
respected but he’s old.”
On Mr Dagogo, a PDP member currently in the Rivers State House of
Assembly, our source said: “this is not about a political party. It is
not about endorsing APC. It is about Buhari.”
The Niger Delta is a region where Mr Abubakar is expected to
record a clear win. Apart from being traditionally a “PDP home,” Mr
Abubakar’s core campaign vow to restructure the country to allow
states have greater responsibilities and control of resources appeals
to the region, long drawn in agitations for resource control and more
development.
However, the endorsement of Mr Buhari by the ex-warriors who
wield some influence in the region may swing some votes across
the states in the region to APC.
According to our source, the endorsement would be a part of a
“peace workshop” promoted by the ex-militant leaders.
They were high-ranking commanders of the Movement for the
Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, and also ran, separately,
camps of guerrilla fighters spending years in violent protest of the
environmental degradation and socio-economic underdevelopment
of the Niger Delta.
But in 2009, they accepted the amnesty programme initiated by late
President Umaru Yar’Adua.
They enjoyed generous government patronage during the
administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, who offered them
contracts to safeguard oil and gas infrastructure. They then
supported Mr Jonathan’s re-election bid, which failed in 2015.
The amnesty programme led to relative peace in the region but
attacks on oil and gas installations were renewed by a group Niger
Delta Avengers following Mr Jonathan’s loss.
The Avengers were condemned by Boyloaf and Tompolo in separate
reactions. MEND also described the group as a bunch of criminals
at the height of their violent campaign which affected Nigeria’s
crude production.
The Niger Delta is volatile and has remained largely impoverished,
despite decades of oil production that has provided much of the
cash Nigeria uses. Trillions of naira in federal allocations to the
region have not changed much.
But the endorsement of Mr Buhari by the “big five” ex-militant
leaders, according to our source, follows his “government’s efforts
on Niger Delta’s environmental and development concerns,
including Ogoni cleanup and infrastructure.”[s]
