Coordinators of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL) from the Urhobo ethnic nationality have disowned a recent advertorial published in Vanguard Newspaper, credited to Olorogun Ese Gam Owe, Esq., who claimed to be the President-General of the Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) Worldwide. The Tantita Coordinators described the publication as “fabricated,” “self-serving,” and “a gross misrepresentation of Urhobo values and interests.” Chief Ukpebitere Kenneth, Chairman of all Presidents-General (PGs) of Urhobo and Isoko, led the signatories in condemning the advertorial, stating that Olorogun Ese Gam Owe’s statement was a divisive ploy aimed at pitching the Urhobo people against other ethnic groups in the Niger Delta. “Hobbies have always been major stakeholders in the Niger Delta and in Project Nigeria. Our contributions to nation-building through the UPU are anchored on the ideals of love, unity, and mutual respect — not division and ethnic bigotry,” Chief Ukpebitere said. The rebuttal pointed out that the publication misrepresented Tantita’s work, revealing multiple factual, grammatical, and constitutional inaccuracies. The coordinators clarified that every kilometre of pipeline within Urhobo territory is manned and protected by indigenes, with Tantita employing over 3,500 Urhobo sons and daughters across 88 communities in 16 kingdoms. “We will continue to uphold the values enshrined in the UPU Constitution and maintain peace and good neighborliness with all ethnic nationalities in the Niger Delta and across Nigeria,” the coordinators resolved. They condemned the advertorial as an attempt to extort or blackmail Tantita under the guise of UPU authority, describing it as “ethnic entrepreneurship” that does not reflect the aspirations of Urhobo people.
