Former president general of Eriemu field, Comrade Ejomafuvwe Iboyi, has drummed support and called on the federal government to renew the Tantita surveillance contract awarded to High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo.
Comrade Iboyi who made this call while speaking to newsmen disclosed that those calling for the non renewal of the contact awarded to Tompolo are the enemies of the federal government.
According to him, “Tantita handling the surveillance gave employment to majority of our youths which resulted into crime reduction to a lower ebb.
“Since Tantita started handling this contract, pipeline vandalism has stopped which increases higher production of crude in the country.
“Bombing and destruction of trunk line and other oil facilities across the region has stopped and without any apologies those calling for the decentralization are enemies of the state.
“Tantita Security Services has blocked the loopholes of those stealing and siphoning oil and they are fighting back.
“If I may ask, why is it that they are only calling on Tantita while other people have same contract that is higher than that Tompolo”
“They are very much afraid because, Tompolo exposed why they were hiding from people and he had not engaged people from the region, this noise will not be there.”
Speaking further, Iboyi said, “I am lending my voice to others that oppose decentralization of the contract among several entities, arguing that maintaining Tantita ensures stability and efficient rise in oil production.
“These enemies are pained that pipeline vandalism, illegal bunkering, sea piracy/kidnapping has reduced as the contract has sustained thousands of jobs for local youth, preventing youth restiveness
“I am calling on Mr President to renew and expand the surveillance contract of Tantita Security Services just as other groups and ethnic nationalities are appealing.”
