The Niger Delta Patriotic Alliance, NPDA has rallied behind Government Ekpemupolo popularly known as Tompolo in the face of his invitation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, over fraudulent practices.
The group has urged the Federal Government to desist from harassing Tompolo while stating that ‘the All Progressives Congress, APC, led administration must realize that it cannot fight everybody at the same time.’
Speaking to journalists on Thursday, January 21, in Uyo, Offiong Udo, who is the spokesperson for the group asserted that “just as we witnessed between 1983 and 1984, our nation is fast disintegrating into a lawless era of arbitrariness and cluelessness powered by an abysmally weak grasp of what it takes to govern a nation in the modern era.”
He further said: “It is extremely fool-hardy to be stuck with Boko Haram in the North-East while opening up new fronts with IPOB, MASSOB, Shiites, Yoruba elders and now Niger Delta militants at the same time.”
The group added that “finally, those who claim to be best suited to rule have now exposed themselves as too provincially minded for the challenges of the modern world.”
“The present administration appears clueless, just staggering from one missed step to another, utterly incapable of turning around our impending economic woes, and instead, pretending it is doing something by pushing our country into a frightening quagmire of national crisis by fighting everyone that does not agree with it.”
