Leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger
Delta (MEND), Government Ekpemupolo, popularly called
Tompolo, has commended President Buhari for appointing
Brig. Gen. Paul Boroh (retd.) as the new coordinator of the
Presidential Amnesty Programme.
In a statement he released yesterday July 29th, Tompolo
said he was happy that the position was not handed to a
political jobber ..
"It could be recalled that I called a meeting of ex-
agitators, leaders and other stakeholders in the Niger
Delta last week as a result of the pressure on me to
intervene in the seemingly troubled Amnesty
Programme, due to the non-payment of the stipends
and allowances to beneficiaries for months now. And
so, it gives me joy for the President to appoint a
high-ranking retired military gentleman to coordinate
the programme rather than any of the political
jobbers, who had advertised themselves in very
negative forms in order to be appointed.”he said
