The people of the Niger Delta are set to celebrate the 46th birthday of embattled military leader Government Ekpemupolo, more popularly known as Tompolo.
Tompolo, was a commander in various guerrilla groups in the Niger Delta which were all agitating against the insensitivity of the Federal Government and the international oil companies towards to exploitation and degradation of the Niger Delta.
He was one of the key figures in the implementation of the Niger Delta amnesty programme under the Goodluck Jonathan administration and is currently helping the government track down rogue guerilla groups as well as corrupt chieftains in the oil rich region.
The Niger Delta in celebration of their inspired military leader printed T-shirts in comemmoration of the icon as their hero.
