Tantita is God-sent to rebuild Nigeria’s economy,” says APC chieftain Michael Johnny

High Chief Michael Johnny, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Delta State, has described Tantita Security Services as “God-sent” for its role in protecting Nigeria’s oil assets and reviving the national economy.

Speaking during an interview with the press at the grand finale of the 2026 Amaseikumo Festival in Oporoza, Gbaramatu Kingdom, Johnny said the company’s intervention has reversed decades of economic sabotage.

“Tantita is God-sent to empower and rebuild the Nigerian economy that has suffered for decades,” he said.

He noted that since the removal of fuel subsidy, revenues from oil and gas have been better secured under Tantita’s surveillance. “The funds coming from the oil and gas sector are now being guided and protected by Tantita. That is why all state governments, not just those in the Niger Delta, are benefiting from its hard work.”

Before Tantita’s engagement, Johnny explained, the country lost billions of naira and dollars annually through pipeline vandalism and crude oil theft. “For years, billions of dollars and naira were siphoned through our pipelines. It became difficult for the Federal Government to meet its obligations, which is why we resorted to constant borrowing.”

He maintained that the country is now on a better trajectory. “Since the establishment of Tantita, you can see that the country is moving in the right direction, in line with our plan that Nigeria must grow and that Nigerians must live well.”
