EGBEMA LEADERS OF THOUGHT (ELOT) BERATE MIKE J. K. TIEMO AND URGES HIM TO BE CAUTIOUS OF ATTACKS ON ELDER EDMUND DOYAH TIEMO AIMED AT SMEARING HIS IMAGE

The attention of the Egbema Leaders of Thought (ELOT) has been drawn to a malicious and false publication credited to some indigenes of Egbema Kingdom with the caption quoted herein below.

Ordinarily , we would not have responded to the said publication but in order not to allow the general public to be misled and misinformed, we decided to take this path to set the records straight, particularly for the benefit of the reading public, hence we react as follows:

“Warri, Delta State – A storm is brewing in Egbema Kingdom, Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State, as the Egbema Offshore Communities, in collaboration with the Egbema Communities Peace Development and Humanitarian Rights Association, have raised an urgent alarm over the activities of Mr. Edmund Doyah Tiemo and his cohorts. Comrade Mike J. K. Tiemo – Contact Committee Chairman / Community Leader, Mr. Timi David – Community Leader Mr. Oyibo Tony Onis – Community Leader, Mr. Stanley Soroghaye – Community Leader, Mr. Friday David – Community Leader and Eight other community leaders made available to Daily independent Newspaper , the Egbema Offshore Communities categorically rejected Edmund Doyah Tiemo’s self-proclaimed authority as their representative, warning that his continued interference in community affairs could lead to unrest if not urgently curtailed.”

It is disheartening to read about the post circulating on social media platforms and Leadership Newspaper wherein the image of Elder Edmund Doyah Tiemo who is passionately interested in the development of Egbema kingdom is being dragged in the mud maliciously by Mr. Mike Tiemo and his co-travellers. Nothing can be further from the truth, as will be shown in this rebuttal.

He is known for discipline, integrity, and honesty. As we all know, he is currently the chairman of Egbema Opudis Host Community Development Trust BOT, that is in charge of Chevron Nig. LTD onshore activities. Therefore, it is impossible for him to interfere or seek to become part of the Egbema offshore communities.

It must also be realised that the Egbema offshore recognition is still in the making and requires the efforts of stakeholders and leaders to work closely to achieve the needed result. It is on premise that Elder E.E Tiemo provided leadership and mobilised resources alongside other leaders to pursue the humble course.

E. E. Tiemo is an elder statesman, a successful businessman, and a community leader not just in the Polobubor community but the entire Egbema Kingdom, he is a leader per excellence, peace loving and a development oriented man.

Due to his unwavering and pristine antecedent, the 93 Egbema offshore communities made him their leader against the unfounded claim that he was rejected. It is obvious from the fact that Mr. Mike Tiemo and his co-travellers have been rejected hence this unfounded foul cry.

Mr. Mike Tiemo is afraid because the Polobubor community he came from will not condone his fraudulent activities concerning the offshore matters wherein for the past 20 years he didn’t site any single project in his community till date before the introduction of the PIA.

The elder statesman will never serve as a security threat to Egbema offshore communities except Mr. Mike Tiemo and his co-travellers. Mr. Mike Tiemo is so native and unlearned to know that the leadership that nominated him and his cohorts to serve in the committee he is still clinging to has since relieved them of their assignment because of his dubious act.

Elders and leaders of Egbema communities prevailed on the elder statesman (Elder Edmund Tiemo) to take the mantle of leadership generally in the kingdom based on his experience and track records within and outside the shores of Egbema Kingdom, as he possesses legal and traditional authority to act.

Elder Edmund Tiemo, is the real agent of development whose antecedent is unwavering. From his personal resources, he provides free medical treatment for all Egbema sons and daughters yearly, he provides several scholarships to indigenous people, less privilege, carries out yearly empowerment programs for men and women in the Kingdom and a host of other developmental initiatives.

Elder Edmund Tiemo is from Polobubor, a prince of the Oloduwa ruling house. He needs not to be a chief to ensure that justice and truth is upheld at all times in the Kingdom. He is the rallying point and a source of inspiration to both the young and old in the Egbema Kingdom.

The leaders of communities in the Egbema kingdom are not naive to the royal office of the Agadagba of Egbema Kingdom and the traditional council led by Chief Tax Agbaibor, the Toripuwei of Egbema Kingdom when the subject matter borders on the traditional institution.

Mr. Mike Tiemo, has never won any case in court except to whittle down development he is a clog in the wheel of progress in Egbema Kingdom and he is hereby advised to wait till the outcome of the court cases he claimed to have filed.

The position of the offshore communities in Egbema is very clear that no individual or group of persons have right or authority to deal on issues bordering on offshore except authorized leaders of the communities concerned, this is the only sin committed by Elder Edmund Tiemo and others that is why the message of truthfulness and justice being sent to the discerning public is making Mr. Mike Tiemo and his co-travellers panicking and jittery.

We are only committed to ensure that offshore matters will not be the estate of some individuals but the communities at all times in the Kingdom.

It will only amount to self delusion and wishful thinking for well meaning leaders of the Kingdom to stand idly and allow the fraudulently minded persons to hoodwink the Egbema Kingdom with their illicit and selfish agenda as epitomized by Mr. Mike Tiemo and his co-travellers to strive.

We advise Mr. Mike Tiemo to render an unreserved apology to his uncle and be cautious of his attacks to smear the image of the Elder statesman who is committed to peace and development in the Egbema Kingdom.
