 Meanwhile, the River State's governor, similar to Fubara, has criticized the federal government for a world order contract for the protection of crude oil pipelines to one man. Fubara spoke when a federal government delegation on the security of oil and gas assets led by the National Security Advisor, Nuhuru Bado, visited him at the government house in Port Harcots, the state capital. In August 2022, the group chief executive officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Melikari, had justified the government decision to award a multi-billionaire pipeline surveillance contract to Tantita Security Service led by former militants leader Government Ekwemulaw, also known as Tompoulu. The governor, who decried the negligence of the state by the federal government, called on the delegation to ensure that the outcome of their task will be beneficial to both the federal and state governments. The security of pipeline and all those stuff should not be given to one man or one person to say, look, we are going to handle somebody from Calabari to come and control what is happening in Obwebeba. It's not possible now. Somebody from Obwebeba to come and control what is happening in Ogoni. You cannot understand that. There's no way to walk. We need to come down, look at it in such a way that we bring in all these communities, their heads or whatever you want to call them. Those people you're dealing with in this other end but look for the uncalled people that can really talk to them, people that can influence the, you already know how to mention it. Once we're able to catch them and make them part of the process, there's no two ways about it. It will on its own just go down. As you see us here, this is the entire federal network. Strategic individuals and offices are here, assembled, ministers, NMPC, the Presidency, the military. We are all here. This is a clear demonstration of a commitment and a belief that indeed time has come for us. To more or less say like what the minister of the office is now, open a new chapter. We believe that it is time to do the right thing and we are going to do it.
