OVWIAN, DELTA STATE – The recent surge in crude oil production and the visible environmental recovery in the Niger Delta, largely attributed to Tantita Security Services Limited, have inevitably been met with resistance from those whose illicit operations have been curtailed. In response to this, Warefa Pereke, the astute CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Ezon Efie Media Outfit, has firmly declared that the calculated media campaigns and accusations leveled against Tantita are baseless.
Speaking passionately from Ovwian, Pereke minced no words in dissecting the motives behind these negative narratives, urging the Nigerian public to exercise critical discernment. “It is an unfortunate but predictable reality,” Pereke stated, “that when genuine progress is made in disrupting a multi-billion-naira criminal enterprise like oil theft, those who are losing their illicit revenue streams will resort to desperate measures. Their weapon of choice is often the propagation of falsehoods and baseless accusations through calculated media campaigns.”
Pereke, whose media outfit actively monitors and reports on developments in the Niger Delta, emphasized that the public should always question the source and intent of such negative information. “Before you accept or share any accusation against Tantita, ask yourself: Who benefits from discrediting an organization that is clearly making a massive positive impact on our nation’s economy and environment? What is the verifiable evidence to support these claims, or are they mere unsubstantiated allegations?” he challenged.
The Ezon Efie Media boss pointed to the irrefutable evidence of Tantita’s success as the strongest counter to any baseless claims. “The numbers don’t lie. Nigeria’s crude oil production has seen a significant and sustained increase since Tantita began its aggressive operations,” Pereke asserted. “This directly translates to more foreign exchange for our country, more funds for development, and a stronger Naira. These are tangible benefits that cannot be wished away by fabricated stories.”
Furthermore, Pereke highlighted the environmental gains as clear proof of Tantita’s positive impact. “Our waterways are getting cleaner, aquatic life is returning, and communities are breathing easier where illegal refineries once spewed toxic fumes. These are visible improvements that directly benefit the people of the Niger Delta,” he noted.
Pereke also acknowledged the immense dangers faced by Tantita operatives daily, reminding the public that their work is a perilous fight against well-armed and ruthless criminals. “These brave men and women put their lives on the line for Nigeria. To subject them to baseless accusations and smear campaigns is not only unjust but also actively demoralizes those who are fighting for our collective well-being,” he warned.
In his concluding remarks, Warefa Pereke reiterated his call for national unity and support for Tantita. “The fight against oil theft is a fight for the survival of Nigeria. We cannot allow those who profit from our nation’s misery to undermine the very forces that are bringing about positive change through calculated media campaigns and baseless accusations. Let us stand with Tantita, discern the truth, and focus on the undeniable progress they are achieving for all Nigerians.”
