Former militant leader, Chief
Government Ekpemupolo, better known as Tompolo, has denied rumours that he has
joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking to Vanguard through Paul
Bebenimibo – his media adviser and consultant, Tompolo described the report as
untrue.
He said, “I am not a politician.
“How can one who does not belong
to a political party defect from one political party to another?
“Tompolo is not a politician. He
is just a political activist. He doesn’t belong to any political party please,”
Bebenimibo said.
Recall that last month, Tompolo
reportedly joined key leaders of various camps of ex-agitators in the Niger
Delta, to pledge to work with the Federal Government to ensure peace and
stability in the region.
The other leaders that met with
the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Co-ordinator of the
Presidential Amnesty Programme, Prof. Charles Dokubo, in Lagos, included: Chief
Bibopre Ajube, aka General Shoot-at-Sight; Victor Ben, alias Boyloaf and HRH
Ateke Tom, among others.
