Jonathan Okays Oil Jobs For Tompolo, Fasehun, Others by WisdomFlakes: 7:07am On Mar 12, 2015 |
The Federal Government is set to execute its new plan to safeguard the waterways and oil pipelines. The Presidency is believed to have directed the Police and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to quit the job for some companies, which have been signed on by the government. The companies are owned by some former Niger Delta militants and prominent citizens. They include Government Tompolo; Mujaheedin Asari-Dokubo and Chief Bipobiri Ajube (aka Gen. Shoot-At-Sight). There is also founder of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) Dr. Frederick Fasehun who said last night that his company was being considered for the multi-billion naira contract. The OPC National co-ordinator, Otunba Gani Adams, who is also said to be part of the deal, declined comments last night, saying he was at a meeting. The takeover is said to be with effect from March 16. According to a source, seven companies have been allocated “regions” or operational areas as follows: Egbe Security River One (Bayelsa); Gallery Security (Mosinmi -Ore); Close Body Protection (Edo State); Adex Energy Security(Rivers) ; Donyx Global Concept(Lagos and Ogun); Oil Facilities Surveillance-(Delta) and New Age Global Security (Mosinmi-Ibadan). The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) will coordinate the jobs. Details of the deal are sketchy as only few in government are in the picture. A source said: “The so-called new deal for the protection of waterways has not been made known to members of the Federal Executive Council, unlike in the past. “Maybe this is an ad hoc arrangement to achieve a political purpose because some ex-Niger Delta militants on January 24 met at the Government House, Yenagoa and vowed to declare war if President Goodluck Jonathan does not win the March 28 election. “Asari Dokubo specifically said: “We are going to war. Every one of you should go and fortify yourself.” Responding to a question, the source added: “These former Niger Delta militants are benefiting from all manner of pipeline protection contracts. “Apart from being on retainership with NIMASA, I am aware that in 2009, a former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Chief Ufot Ekaette presented a memo on December 2, 2009 to the Federal Executive Council for the award of the N1.8billion Kurutie Shoreline Protection and Reclamation contract. “A company, KFT Kpudoh, allegedly owned by Tompolo and another called Phoenica Nigeria Limited, bid for the said contract.” Based on the advice of the Bureau of Public Procurement, after a thorough technical audit, the Shoreline Protection and Reclamation Contract was awarded to Phoenica Nigeria Limited by FEC. But the award of the contract to Phoenica fetched Akaette death threats. The government later reviewed the contract.” A source in Warri, Delta State, said the contract for pipelines in Delta State would be executed by Oil Field Surveillance Limited, the same company, which had previously handled it. It is owned by Tompolo. “What I was told is that it has been awarded for Delta, Edo, Ondo, Bayelsa, Rivers, Lagos and Ogun states. Like the one of Lagos State, I learnt it’s being anchored by Dr Frederick Fasshun and that it’s going to commence on Monday,” the source said. The NSCDC Deputy Commandant General in charge of Operation, Evans Ewuurum, said the corps was yet to receive any circular on the contracts. Nigeria has been battling with huge revenue due to vandalism of oil and gas pipeline. The Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Usman Jibrin, recently disclosed that Nigeria had been losing an estimated 100,000 barrels of crude oil valued at N1.18 billion daily to oil thieves. This amounts to an annual loss of N433.62 billion. The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, said pipeline vandalism led to shortage of gas for firing power plants. The electricity market, which has 5,500MW installed capacity now generates an average of 3,575.85MW following paucity of gas as vandals who always strike whenever the sector is about to hit 4,500MW”. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/jonathan-okays-oil-jobs-for-tompolo-fasehun-others/ 3 Likes 1 Share |

Jonathan the incompetent leader at it again. Under him, Nigeria has rewarded criminals more than any other president in our nation's history. Should we allow Jonathan to continue for another four years, more nonentities like Tompolo, Asari, Gani Adams, etc. will spring up and lord their wishes over us. Soon, living in the jungle will be better than living in Nigeria where political thugs, militants and touts will determine how refined, educated and well trained Nigerians live their life. Give Jonathan another chance of four years at the presidency and watch how all government institutions collapse. Give him another chance and see how militancy is applauded and rewarded at the detriment of entrepreneurship and sound education. Allow him another tenure and see how God-fatherism determines who gets a job more than ever in our country. GEJ is everything that can be wrong in any human being. 275 Likes 25 Shares |

Checking the source gives me a second thought about the credibility of the story. But if the story is genuine, that's a Suicide. What's the essence of the Police and NSCDC? It really shows we don't have Security in Nigeria if the F.G. can trust Militants than its Security personnel. I prefer the President Sending Tompolo, Fasehun and Co to Sambisa to help in the war against Bokoharam. That will be a fair deal than securing the pipelines. 32 Likes 1 Share |

Most of us understand that this is d same reason most of this ex militants and OPC leaders are supporting Oga Jona for re-election. They are all in for what they can get. They don't care if about governance and corruption involve as long as there interest is gurrantee. It won't be supprising if some of them start singing APC song if GMB is declear winner of the presidential election. It is a politics of interest in this part of the world.

By May 29, 1999, we had 23 PDP governors, 6 AD, and 7 APP. 16 years later, this is their story: (A) PDP (23 governors) 1. James lbori - PDP Delta - in prison for looting 2. DSP Alamieseigha - PDP Bayelsa - Ex-convict for looting 3. Lucky Igbinedion - PDP Edo - Ex-convict for looting 4. Peter Odili - PDP Rivers - In court for looting 5. Chimaroke Nnamani - PDP Enugu - In court for looting 6. Ayo Fayose - PDP Ekiti - In court for looting 7. Rasheed Ladoja - PDP Oyo - In court for looting 8. Alao Akala - PDP Oyo - In court for looting 9. Gbenga Daniel - PDP Ogun - In court for looting 10. Ikenna Ohakim - PDP Imo - In court for looting 11. Adamu Muazu - Bauchi (current PDP National Chairman) - In court for looting over N19 Billion from the state treasury 12. Joshua Dariye - PDP Plateau - In court for looting 13. Jolly Nyame - PDP Taraba - In court for looting the state treasury 14. Abdulahi Adamu - PDP Nassarawa - In court for looting the state treasury 15. Boni Haruna - PDP Adamawa - (newly appointed minister by President Jonathan) - In court for looting the treasury 16. Saminu Turaki - EX-Gov. PDP Jigawa - In court for looting the treasury 17. Orji Uzor Kalu - PDP Abia - In court for looting the treasury (B-). AD to AC- 6 govs. NO Ex governor has ever been taken to court for treasury looting. NOTE:- Tinubu of Lagos was dragged to Code of Conduct Tribunal for having foreign accounts while in power against government policy of zero foreign account for public officials. He was found not guilty because he had the accounts before his election to the office of governor. Case dismissed! (C) APP - (ANPP) 7 governors 1. Attahiru Baffarawa - APP Sokoto - In court for looting (he is now in a PDP member) 2. Prince Abubakar Audu - ANPP Kogi - In court for looting. So APC made up of AD/ AC/ACN of the past is leading the pack. Does it not make perfect sense to allow these people to lead at the center? 54 Likes 9 Shares |

A kleptocratic government where the people ruling and close supporters of the ruling class accumulate so much wealth at the expense of the masses. The protection of pipelines etc are now the responsibility of a few militants who at one point in time caused chaos in the country. I weep for my country, I weep for the supporters of this corrupt, clueless and diabolical president. If Nigeria were to be referred to as a banana republic, it won't be far from the truth. 15 Likes 1 Share |

Empowerment of criminals when common man is suffering. This is the only president that I have seen that have no feelings for common man. Which way Nigerians, can we bear the pains of another four years under this man? It is better to go to war than winning under this man in silence.
