"Tompolo Had The Support Of Goodluck Jonathan" - Ijaw Elders To Buhari by IlajeGal1(op): 9:02am On Jan 22, 2016
By JUMI RHODES



The Ijaw Council of Elders- Delta State has written to President Muhammadu Buhari on Tompolo, alleged arrest of Ijaw elders, and other issues. In the letter titled 'Pipeline Attacks: Ijaw Elders Say No To Another Military Invasion of Gbaramatu Kingdom', it stated that,"While not holding brief for Tompolo, the ex-militant leader and contractor to the Federal Government had the backing of former President Goodluck Jonathan in policing the pipelines during which period he stepped on toes of many big time oil bunkerers across the nation. That way, oil production was raised to a record height. As one now in opposition party, could agents of the present ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) whose toes he stepped on, be fighting back with actions for smear campaign."



On the threat to arrest Ijaw elders, the letter further stated that,"It is sad to note that Commanding Officers of the military in occupation threatened to arrest elders of the Ijaw communities where there was vandalization of oil installations. No such threat was issued to elders of communities in the North East where Boko Haram has held sway for years with sustained capacity for wrecking occasional and spectacular havocs on the populace till now. It should be noted that elders have words, not guns to confront arms and angry youths and can only deploy words, to effect, only if the youths believe the Federal Government would respect the words of the Ijaw elders. The seeming treatment that the Ijaw/Niger Delta is a coquered territory in the Nigerian nation is unfortunate and does not promote a sense of belonging."

Guy this your topic is misleading Abeg!

You said " Tompolo had the support of Goodluck Jonathan " as if Jonathan supported him to bomb those installations when he supported him to police em.

But wait and see, Buhari will sanction the invasion of those lands soon...

Our elders have spoken well!

We all condemn the attack on oil facilities and want perpetrators to be brought to justice. However, threatening to arrest community chiefs whose domains the carnage occured is silly, inappropriate and unfortunate. It is unacceptable.

Areest perpetrator, prosecute Tompolo for the alleged land deal but don't bring our communities and elders into this.
