The Olu of Warri, His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III (CFR) is not involve in any pipeline surveillance contract and should be left out of all the unwarranted controversy being peddled by rumour mongers who does l mean well for the peace and stability in Niger Delta

The revered king of the Itsekiri nation is not and can never be in competition with anyone .

All the furore generated through the baseless and unsubstantiated allegations by a faceless and disgruntled group – Niger Delta State Stakeholders Forum, NDSF, against the revered royal father is uncalled for.

These assertion was made in Warri, at the weekend by Prince Emmanuel Okotie- Eboh a scion of Nigeria first finance Minister, Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh.

Prince Okotie -Eboh, ex-regent of Warri kingdom, business man and opinion leader in Warri Kingdom stated in a statement that “greed, lost of economic power, dwindling political /social influence coupled with stomach infrastructural exigencies” underlies the macabre dance of shame by the authors of the allegations and misinformation .

Continuing he said all the information dished out by the NDSF to the public were geared to incite some gullible public and he enjoined all well meaning individuals to disregard the publication in its entirety.

Prince Emma Okotie -Eboh noted that the royal father did not ascend the throne of Warri kingdom as a poor man, saying those angling to drag his name into disrepute are pained that they can not manipulate or influence him unduly with their ill -gotten wealth and persist in riding roughshod on the entire itsekiri nation as they did with the immediate past monarch of blessed memory.

According to him, the king has chains of businesses he presides over amongst which is Pipeline Infrastructures Nigeria limited (PINL) that is not even in charge of the Trans-Forcados–Escravos Pipelines security project in Delta State.

Ogiame Atuwatse III CFR is not in competition with High Chief Government Ekpemukpolo alias Tompolo in any pipeline security job. Every contractor has its sphere of operations and they have a cordial relationship.

Morever NDSF do not award contract on behalf of the Federal Government or NNPC and are therefore not in any position to determine a performing or non performing contractor, wondering how the termination of a contract in which the Olu of Warri is one of the director translate into their selfish benefit? So how come they are so pained to allege that the monarch is pocketing billions of Naira every month for doing nothing. He further pointed out that PINL doesn’t even control 80% of the entire surveillance job in the Niger Delta as alleged calling it a gross and dubious mis presentation of fact.

According to Okotie-Eboh while PINL is handling Rivers, Imo and parts of Bayelsa states, Tantita is handling Delta, Ondo and parts of Bayelsa states respectively and there are no area of conflict in job execution between the various contractors. So why is the faceless NDSF trying to ignite unnecessary chaos and create bad blood in a venture that does not concern them?

The statement condemned the Itsekiri group for falsely disparaging the royal father in the social media for their self grandisement, busy -body and unbridled and wicked jealousy of the royal father.

Okotie-Eboh commended the Ijaw youths Council world-wide, IYC, for scoring the olu of Warri high on execution of pipeline surveillance contract and for contributing massively towards curbing the menace of pipeline vandalism in the Niger Delta.

The IYC through their President, Dr Alaye Theophilus had on behalf of the Ijaw Nation in a statement debunked the NDSF statement that PINL was not doing well in the ijaw areas noting that “PINL over the years have shown diligence and professionalism in the conduct of it’s job in the region and saying that the Olu of Warri is a true son of the Niger Delta”.

The IYC president who stated the Olu of Warri is a well respected monarch in Nigeria charged persons still aggrieved with the emergence of the monarch not to cast aspersions on him but to have a re -think of their misguided actions.

Prince Okotie Eboh who said most royal fathers throughout the globe are into various businesses including King Charles of the United Kingdom told all those against the Olu of Warri for being a business guru to thank God that they have such a versatile, vibrant, young and intelligent Prince as their royal father that all should be proud of even as he has so many itsekiri in his companies too and is not defaulting in payment of his employees or sub-contractors.

The scion of the first finance Minister in Nigeria stated his persist calls on all those vultures who sat as a demi-god over the Commonwealth of the Itsekiri nation for many years to retrace their steps, seek forgiveness and fall back into line for their own good and that of their followers and generations yet unborn.

Prince Emma in the statement also express concern over the barefaced lies by NDSF against the Olu of Warri and rudely but unashamedly calling on President Bola Tinubu to to look into the activities of PINL saying “Our president is knowledgeable and wise enough to read between the lines of the unpatriotic antics of the NDSF and their shenanigans”.

He noted that those in the opposition of the Olu of Warri are a minute in few in the Itsekiri nation seeking for relevance but are fast fading into oblivion with their belligerents and sacrilegious actions.

It’s the height of their demented imagination for a group of misguided youths to think they can run the Itsekiri nation aground, an action that amount to day-dreaming.

They better wake up from their deep slumber. A time will come shortly when Itsekiri youths in their numbers will start attacking these miscreants anywhere they are found in the kingdom.

“those that the gods will punish, they first make mad”, Okotie -Eboh, the former Chairman of Chief Great Oboru Campaign Council in the last Governorship election under APGA in Delta state posited.

The PINL are doing very creditably well in their area of operations as attested to by the Ijaws working with the company and even commended His Majesty Ogiame Atuwatse 111CFR. That alone has exposed members of the NDSF as being fraudulent in all their claims that is tainted with deep seated hatred, jealousy, envy and bad belle.
