The General Overseer of Goshen Freedom Tabernacle, GFT, Effurun in Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, Prophet Austin Ariole JP today said the recent media publication of the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU, Worldwide calling for the disengagement of TANTITA Security Services Nigeria Limited from Urhobo land is a "miscarriage of purpose" just as he expressed his disappoinment over same. 

The cleric made the assertion during an interview with Our Correspondent shortly after its Prophetic One Hour with Jesus on Tuesday. 

"Am disappointed in those Urhobo leaders of thought."

According to Prophet Ariole, it was an error on the part of the UPU to issue that statement against TANTITA, a private security firm. 

He recalled the days of the Niger Delta struggle saying,"Without Tompolo, there will be no TANTITA."

He stressed, "We know the impact of the Ijaws in the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND. So, having fought the Federal Government and ended up, such a job is given to the champion of the struggle, Tompolo. 

"I would have expected that the Urhobos should be wise. They should clamour for more slots. You cannot engage the Federal Government. Who are the champions of the Urhobos of today?"

Prophet Ariole who described Tompolo as a champion said he settled the politcal crisis in Rivers State between the FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara. 

"He is a voice. He has already stepped into the shoes of E.K. Clark whether you like it or not. 

"Look at Ayiri, he is championing the course of the Itsekiris. Whose voice do we have in Urhobo land?"

Prophet Ariole also said, "These elders, that's not the purpose of the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU. They should understand that lives were lost in the struggle,mainly Ijaws. 

"So, I am saying they should allow TAnTITA to do their jobs.. the revenue has increased. I don't know him(Tompolo) but you see what they're doing. His Managing Director, Kestin Pondi has done beyond Managing Director. His Corporate Social Responsibility is topnotch. We had companies here that didn't care about people. 

"Urhobos are talking today, look at the Police Station built in Ugborikoko , look at the Army Barracks, look at NUJ Warri new Secretariat. Look at the things that they're doing.

"We had great men(Edafe-Urhobo) most of them are retired now by death. The young generation should think of being relevant politically, economically and not TANTITA slots of #200,000."

Prophet Ariole noted that the Urhobos have a right to protest because they have crude and pipelines in their domains. He cautioned that they(Urhobos) should be civilized in their issues of getting anything from TANTITA Security Services Nigeria Limited.

He also rejected any calls for the disengagement of TANTITA Security Services Nigeria Limited from Urhobo land by the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU led by Chief Ese Gams Owe Esq. 

He suggested that the Urhobos should also think about their slogan"Urhobo-Ovuovo", development of Urhobo nation and position their children betterly and not going for stomach infrastructure. "I am against it."
