The chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL), Chief Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo, has paid glowing tribute to former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died at a London hospital on Sunday in the United Kingdom.
Tompolo described the late former President Muhammadu Buhari as a patriot who sought after men of character and vigour to serve the country under his reign as President.
He stated this in a statement personally signed by him on Monday, while mourning the passing of Buhari, who served as a Military Head of State and civilian President between 2015 to 2023.
Tompolo said the late Buhari was not a materialistic person and praised him for contributing immensely to the development of the country.
According to him, “Buhari was a principled and patriotic Nigerian who contributed his quota to the development of Nigeria during his tenure as President from 2015 to 2023.
“He was not a materialistic person and was content with what God blessed him with.
“He sought persons of character, goodwill, and vigour to serve the country while he was President.
“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 infrastructures were bleeding.
“Today, the story is different as the country is progressing steadily towards attaining a peak in oil production.
“Nigerians will miss his contributions to the unity and peace of their country.
“I extend my heartfelt condolences to the country, his family, and close associates. May his soul rest in peace.”
