Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo) has reacted to Gen. T. Y. Danjma's call for his arrest along with Asari-Dokubo and others for making provocative and inciting statements, ahead of next month general elections, yesterday, Jan, 29th in a press statement made available by his media aide, Paul Bebenimibo.
Tompolo accused General Danjuma of being selective in his judgment, as he noted that certain Nigerians, particularly of Northern extraction have made similar provocative statements and were never castigated by the former Army chief.
The statement reads in part:
“The call by Gen. T.Y Danjuma (Rtd) to arrest me and other agitators for a better living for the people of the Niger Delta region is an indication that he is behind terrorism in the North eastern part of the country as well as the stoning of President Jonathan’s convey in Kastina and Bauchi states, because he has never condemned those acts, even though Boko Haram attacked churches and mosques in his home town.
“Is Gen. Danjuma not aware of the peaceful atmosphere when General Buhari visited Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa (Home state of the President) states for campaign? Why is it that President Jonathan’s convoy was attacked in Kastina and Bauchi states without any provocation?
Who is Gen. Danjuma if not for the oil wealth he is enjoying from the Niger Delta? I believe, there is something wrong with Gen. Danjuma.
He should be rather arrested for being behind terrorism in the North.
“Where was Danjuma when Mallam Ciroma Adamu threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable, if president Jonathan defeated the All Progressive Congress Presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammedu Buhari?”
Where was this so called statesman when the APC campaign Director General (DG), Mr. Rotimi Ameachi threatened to form a parallel government if President Jonathan wins the 2015 elections? Where was this hypocrite when Dr. Junaid Muhammed, Muhammadu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar all said in separate interviews that the nation will boil if Jonathan won the election in 2011?
“General Danjuma should be reminded that the devilish treaty that brought the Southern and Northern Protectorates together in 1914, has expired last year. Danjuma and his likes, such as General Buhari, General Obasanjo and Mr. Bola Tinubu should be grateful to president Jonathan who has been keeping this country together, if not for president Jonathan, Nigeria would not have been any more.
Danjuma and his cohorts should be reminded of the saying that ‘those who live in glass house should not throw stones.”
