Egbema Kingdom Appreciates Gbaramatu Leaders, Debunks Daniel Ezekiel’s False Claims Against Tompolo and Others — Hon. Ebenezer Bigha,

EGBEMA KINGDOM APPRECIATES GBARAMATU LEADERS, DEBUNKED EZEKIEL DANIEL'S FALSE CLAIMS AGAINST TOMPOLO AND OTHERS _____ HON. EBENEZER BIGHA 

BY gandi wisdom 

 The Councillor representing Ogbinbiri Ward 17, Egbema Kingdom at the Warri North Legislative Arm, Hon Ebenezer Ebikabowei Bigha has called on the general public to disregard the falsehoods leveled against a foremost Leader of the Niger Delta High Chief Dr Government Oweizide Ekpempolo Popularly known as Tompolo by one Mr Ezekiel Daniel and his cohorts on social media handles. 

Hon Ebenezer stated emphatically during the week in Warri that Ezekiel Daniel knows nothing about GOC, he is a migrant from the West, born and brought up in Ibadan Oyo State. He has no clue neither did he took part in the Niger Delta Liberation struggle, he was not even an Ex militants who contributed to the process that birthed the Presidential Amnesty Program. he is only an opportunist being used by mischief makers who are trying to dent and tarnish the enviable reputation of GOC Tompolo.

High Chief Dr Government Ekpempolo's magnanimous acts as transformed the Social, Political, economic and Educational well-being of our people and the environment. He has been at the forefront of the struggle that just brought Political Freedom to Egbema and other Kingdom in Delta state, one who currently employs a good percent of Egbema Youths with monthly Stipends in his security outfit as well as empowered people who are now Leaders in various Communities across the Kingdom.  

"GOC has always been there for us as a people whenever we need him, it is a blatant lie from the pit of hell that he enslave or maltreat indigenes of Egbema Kingdom at any point, neither did he replaced High Chief Ebipade Kari with someone else has his chief security officer (CSO) as rumored by this same Daniel. Tompolo has joined hands to fight our Common enemies who marginalized and oppressed us as a people balkanized into two states (Edo and Delta)".

 Therefore Every well meaning indigene of Egbema Kingdom is profoundly grateful to him and other Gbaramatu Leaders such as High Chief Kestin Pondi, Deacon Kingsley Otuaro Esq, High Chief Godfrey T. Pondi, High Chief Dennis Brutu Otuaro Ph.D, the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Program through which a lot of Egbema Youths have become Graduates of various disciplines within and outside Nigeria and others for the laudable support and commitment, we will never be part of whatever plot leveled against GOC. 

All the purported claims of Ezekiel and his co are untrue, baseless and should be discarded by the general public, Tompolo has no detention facility anywhere as an individual, he is one who work for the Federal Government by protecting National assets in the Niger state. He is Leader who sustain the lasting peace in the region through visible sacrifices on daily basis. I dont see what Ezekiel Daniel stands to gain in peddling lies against an innocent man who has done so much for humanity which he as also benefited from immensely, his appointment as Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa on security was also made possible by GOC".

Hon Ebenezer further said Egbema Leaders ranging from Alhaji Emmanuel Omoko, Bishop Sunny Jero, Amb Joel Bisina Ph.D, Hon Spencer Okpoye including Youth Leaders such as High Chief Ebipade Kari, Chief Promise Lawuru, Hon Kenneth Odibo A.K.A Community and others have all Cautioned Ezekiel Daniel severally from insulting and spreading falsehoods against Tompolo which he adhered to but continues otherwise. "No Egbema Youths with his or her right senses will dare insult Leaders such as Engr Matthew Tonlagha and Tompolo, considering their selfless sacrifices towards the Kingdom, ijaw Nation and Niger Delta.

"Daniel Ezekiel should remember how he came to see me in sapele back then in the year 1999 so as to locate his root since he was born and raised in Ibadan. I still use this medium to call on him to stop insulting these Leaders and spreading lies against them in the media space for it doesn't tell good of him," he added.

THE LAND HAS ALWAYS BEEN IJAW LONG BEFORE EDO ONDO AND DELTA IT'S NOT COINCIDENCE THAT EVERY HISTORIAN WHO WROTE ABOUT BENIN ARE SAYING THE SAME THING IN DIFFERENT WORDS. IJAWS FORM THE BASIS OF BENIN CITY AND PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN MAKING UP THE BENIN ETHNIC GROUP WITHOUT BEING FULLY ASSIMILATED INTO BENIN. First let's take a glance on The great Benin historian, Chief Jacob Uwadiae Egharevba (1893-1981): "...Many many years ago the benins Came all the way from Egypt to found a more secured shelter in this part of the world after a short stay in Sudan and at Ile-Ife..."
