Niger-Delta militant leader Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo has said it is unimaginable that he will condescend to the level of the leader of the defunct Movement for Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo.
Dokubo said Tompolo had never been involved in Ijaw nor Niger- Delta struggle.
He stated this in a trending video with stakeholders suspecting that Dokubo was angry with Tompolo over the pipeline surveillance contract the Federal Government awarded him.
The pipeline surveillance contract extends to parts of Rivers state.
Dokubo said: “I cannot even compare myself to Tompolo, it is unimaginable that I will condescend to the level of Tompolo. Who is Tompolo, what is his antecedents, what is his name?
“Who is he, do not allow me open a can of worms, who is Tompolo, which Ijaw struggle is he fighting? He is fighting Itsekiri people calling it Ijaw struggle and Niger Delta struggle. Is he even involved in Ijaw struggle?
“Fighting war with Itsekiri, do not allow me to talk, he has never been involved in Ijaw struggle. Never. Gbaramatu versus Itsekiri – that is the war he is fighting. He is not even defending other Ijaw people who are fighting, Ogbe-Ijoh has been fighting with Aladja has Tompolo gone there before,” he said.
