Group urges FG to stop ‘witch-hunting’ Tompolo

A pressure group, Alliance for the Preservation of Nigerian Democracy, APND, has flayed Federal Government’s unrelenting and unwarranted onslaught on Tompolo.

Chatting with newsmen on Wednesday, in Benin, the group through its spokesman, Bolarinwa Ajayi, described what it termed “the unrelenting and unwarranted onslaught on Government Ekpemupolo, a.k.a Tompolo as more of a witch-hunt than any real drive against corruption.”
According to the group: “This is a clear case of political vendetta taken too far. First, they tried to rope in Tompolo on account of the National Maritime University. When that failed, they started talking of Okerekonko community land. When that failed, they are now talking of N34 billion laundering. Who do they expect to believe that Tompolo laundered money?”
The group asserted that “if we are not careful, the present APC administration will truncate democracy and plunge our nation into needless internal strife due to its utter clueless stance of fighting absolutely everyone at the same time.”
It alleged that “Tompolo’s only crime is that he refused to abandon President Jonathan and refused to work for APC in Bayelsa.”
The group claimed that “the present government having realized its inability to rescue Nigeria from impending economic doom, is hounding its perceived enemies out of desperation.”
