High Chief Dr Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL) and Ibe-Ebidouwei of the Ijaw Nation, has expressed profound grief over the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died on Sunday, July 13, 2025, in a London hospital.
In a statement e-signed by Tompolo, he described Buhari as “a principled and patriotic Nigerian who contributed his quota to the development of Nigeria during his tenure as president from 2015 to 2023.” He highlighted Buhari’s non-materialistic nature, noting, “He was not a materialistic person and was content with what God blessed him with.”
Tompolo praised Buhari’s strategic leadership, particularly his decision to engage TSSNL in 2022 to secure Nigeria’s oil and gas infrastructure. “That informed his hiring of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited to handle the surveillance of critical oil and gas facilities in 2022, when the country’s oil and gas infrastructure was bleeding,” the statement read. He credited this move with aiding Nigeria’s progress toward peak oil production, adding, “Today, the story is different as the country is progressing steadily towards attaining a peak in oil production.”
Reflecting on Buhari’s broader impact, Tompolo stated, “Nigerians will miss his contributions to the unity and peace of their country.” He extended condolences, saying, “I extend my heartfelt condolences to the country, his family, and close associates. May his soul rest in peace.”
