Group Condemns Delta Monarchs’ Support For Tantita Security Services Ltd
By Matthias Ogbagah
UGHELLI – An Urhobo socio-economic advocacy group, “The Odavwe R’Urhobo”, has expressed disappointment and shock at the recent press briefing where some Delta State monarchs threw their weight behind Tantita Security Services Limited.
The group in a press statement signed by its national chairman, Chief Mathias Efe Olowu, demanded that the Delta State monarchs should retract their support for Tantita Security Services Limited and instead focus on promoting the welfare of their people.
While condemning the position of the royal fathers, the group queries the royal fathers why they couldn’t use the same energy to rally support for their colleague, His Royal Majesty, Clement Oghenerukevwe, the Ovie (King) of Ewu Kingdom, when he was detained by the military for a year without trial.
His release only came after widespread calls for his freedom.
“It’s disturbing that the same monarchs who couldn’t lift a finger for their fellow royal are quick to endorse Tompolo’s company. This is unacceptable and undermines the principles of leadership.
“Why would our respected monarchs be running errands for Tompolo and his family? This is shameful and not royal. Their actions appear to be motivated by personal gain rather than a commitment to the welfare of their people”.
The Odavwe R’Urhobo urges the royal fathers to prioritize the welfare and dignity of their people over personal interests. We commend the efforts of Fejiro Oliver, an Urhobo son, for championing the cause of respecting the laws of the land, particularly the Petroleum Industry Act.
