The Ijaw Youths Council (IYC), has cautioned the Arewa Youths Assembly for attacking Niger Delta ex-warlord Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo who just bagged a pipeline surveillance contract from the federal government.
IYC’s leadership also said the northern youth are not in any position to condemn the NNPC offcials and Minister of Stae Timi Silva who facilitated the contract.
According to them, the Arewa Youths should be ashamed that Tompolo and others are protecting the source that feeds the nation while they are idle and allowing insecurity to fester in thenorth.
According to the IYC, the youths of the six states of the Niger Delta region are totally in support of the decision to award the surveillance contract to Tompolo.
IYC’s National Spokesman, Comrade Ebilade Ekerefe, said the northern youth should focus their energy to support the security agencies in tackling of the rising cases of kidnapping, banditry, terrorism in northern region of the country.
“Tompolo has worked tirelessly for the peace in the Niger Delta and will continue to sustain and protect the wealth of the nation in collaboration with other stakeholders,” he said.
