Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara has cast aspersions on the N48 billion crude oil pipeline surveillance contract awarded to Tantita Security Services led by former militant leader, Government Ekpemepulo aka Tompolo, by the Federal Government.
Fubara took the occasion of the visit of a high powered Federal Government delegation led by National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu to him, to express his diseteem at the contract questioning the rationale in a thinly veiled speech directed at Tompolo.
“How can someone from Kalabari be controlling the pipeline in Ogoni? There is no way it will work.
“We must look at bringing all the key people in the various communities.
“Two of our sons from Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom are heading the ministry of petroleum. We don’t want them to fail. We must give them the necessary support,” the governor said.
