“We are going to move into serious action, where we are going to stop the illegal activities in the Niger Delta region.
“We will implore the press… we don’t have any place to call our home except Nigeria. We need to do everything within our power to protect our environment, protect our country, and our nation.”
Communities must cooperate with us - Tompolo
Tompolo, however, called for the cooperation of relevant stakeholders in the communities to work together and also work with him to help salvage the already damaging communities rampaged with oil theft and pipeline vandalization.
Meanwhile, the host of the event, Frank Okorakpo, Okubge Isoko Kingdom also aligned with the strategy and ideas of Tompolo. “
He said:
“If there is peace and orderliness, there are a lot of investors out there that are willing to come,” he said.
“With this, the amount of oil that is being wasted if it is invested in the Niger Delta I’m sure everybody will be happy, instead of going to London and becoming minicab drivers.”
