Ogheneruona Tejiri Warri

HRM Obukowho Monday Whiskey, Udurhie 1, Ovie of Idjerhe Kingdom of Ethipoe West Local Government Area of Delta State has described those opposed to the renewal of Tantita Security Services pipeline surveillance contract as dark forces working against the nation’s economic development.

Accordng to statement he personally signed made available to Reformeronline in Warri, HRM Whiskey said that the critics forgot the sorry state of the Niger Delta environment and the near total collapse of the acquatic life and economic down turn before the private security firm came to the rescue.

HRM Whiskey declared, “I am indeed worried that some dark forces are hiding under the pretext of freedom of speech to work against the Nations economic development by openly opposing the renewal of the current security pipeline contract awarded to Tantita Security Services Limited and forgetting the sorry state of the Niger Delta Environment and the near total collapse of all aquatic life and economic down turn before Tantita Security came to the rescue”.

The monarch recalled that apart from Tantita Security Services, other companies were also awarded the same pipeline Security noting that there are possibilities that more others will be awarded.

He added, “the question is why are people against Tantita Security Services Limited project. Maybe they expected that Tantita’s authorities will compromise and allow the forces of darkness to continued with their nefarious activities that brought the nation’s economy to its knees while some disgruntled elements smile to the banks.”

While advising the Federal Government not to listen to the forces of darkness, HRM Whiskey called on the government to reward Tantita Security Services by expanding the scope of their work, he added, “as can be seen from their performance chats and reward hard work and patriotism as shown by authorities of Tantita Security which will encourage others to work for National interest rather than selfish individual interest”.

He commended President Bola Tinubu’s led Federal Government for the bold initiatives that informed the visit of the high powered delegation led by the National Security Adviser (NSA) Mallam Nuhu Ribadu to have an on the spot assessment of the state of things on ground across the Niger Delta region.

HRM Whiskey spoke further, “this is one bold step that is worthy of commendation as visiting the areas will give government first hand information and true situation on ground. It is very lucid from the visit that the visitors saw for themselves clearer Niger Delta Rivers different from the highly polluted waters of 2022 before Tantita Security officials resumed work.

“They saw for themselves aquatic life returning to their natural environment and yet some self appointed agent of darkness are up in arms advocating for cancellation of this all important security contract that is today saving the nations’ economy and restoring our degraded environment gradually to it normal state.

“Tantita Security deserved commendations by all patriots who truly love and wish our Country well. There is room for Government to patronize more persons with pipeline Security work if such persons show capacity and dexterity as currently shown by Tantita Security outfits.”

He has a word of advise to Niger Deltans allegedly being used by suspected oil thieves and their collaborators, “lets not fight ourselves while our nations’ common enemies smile to the banks with our commonwealth in the name of illegal bunkering and crude oil theft. As important as national economic survival, the continuous protection of the Niger Delta Environment and her aquatic life should be of great importance to our people and even our unborn generations.”
