Former Niger Delta freedom fighter, Chief Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo, has denied viral video where he reportedly hailed outcome of the February 25th presidential election.
Tompolo, who described the alleged video as fake, noted that he had not commented or made any statement on the 2023 polls.
A statement by his Media Consultant, Dr Paul Bebenimibo, Tompolo urged the public to disregard the alleged video.
The statement read, “The attention of High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo has been drawn to an alleged viral video on the 2023 general election, where some online media quoted him to have hailed the outcome of the election. For the avoidance of doubt, Tompolo did not do any video of sort.
“Tompolo has not said anything on the outcome of the Presidential election. He is not an enemy to any of the Presidential candidates as well as the governorship candidates. He is a friend to all. And so, he has not asked anyone to use his name to campaign for any of the candidates.
“The general public should beware of characters that are out there to smear his name.”
