EXPLOIATION AND MARKETING OF OIL: AGBEYOME KODJO MAKES A CATEGORY DISMISSAL
The author of the content of the publication which can not be appreciated other than of inaccurate, defamatory, and slanderous is Mrs. Apevi Marcelle who believed with lightness, impute to me person fantasized words, according to which I allegedly recognized in the recent past, that Togo exploits oil.
Such imputation carried by slanderous allegations is defamatory, and outrageous in that the author of the imposture thus disseminated, would be in trouble to bring any material evidence, the least evidence, and / or the slightest material element tending to support the fictions of which the electronic newspaper in question is customary.
Indeed, for ages, the offending website has never ceased to swear at me, and to continually overwhelm my person, through defamatory rhetoric, fanciful imputations, unjustified criticism and false assertions in the sole and only intentional harm to my honor and reputation.
The objective is of course to leave traces in the opinion; because as the saying goes "Go! Slander boldly, there is always something left. Calumniate, slander, there will always be something left! "
Such a method denotes a non-professional; such a process is not respectable; such a process is judicially reprehensible.
Faced with the permanence of so much relentlessness, I summon the author of the said "ticket" to bring by any means he pleases, proof of the truth of the facts imputed and / or supporting his allegations.
On the substance, with regard to the subject in this case oil, object of surreality, of suppositions, multiple allusions, fantasies, and schizophrenia, I support with the rigor and the seriousness that calls said subject, to have since 1998, one (1) liter of oil from our territorial waters. On the other hand, I have not at any time, affirmed here or elsewhere, that Togo would exploit and market oil.
Distractions hallucinatory connotation that some allow themselves to spread can not aggregate my person to an infamous delusion which I do not wish to be associated.
In our Dear Country Togo, the gravity of the hour requires all political actors, courage and political daring as well as a high sense of political responsibility so that we reach together a Republican political Consensus tending to bring back confidence in the country and appeasing bruised hearts, in order to preserve the vital interests of the nation.
It is to this work and nothing that I contribute and that I will deploy my energy contrary sterile fantasies on a subject including the economist Koumou Thomas President of the Association of Economic Watch author of the revelation supported with menus details, which made a buzz admitted to having been misled, and had decency and the courage to make a public apology to definitively close this farce.
In addition, the present press release offers me the opportunity to recall that the various Togolese Governments, concerned with the general interest and the optimization of the State's resources, have constantly sought to put an end to the Togolese exception that the depths of the Togolese maritime territorial waters are without oil.
The results of the work carried out by the various oil companies on the high seas on the territory of the territorial sea area, and brought to my knowledge in his capacity, testify to the fact that there is in Togo serious indications and a high probability that the Togo's continental shelf is likely to dispose of oil deposits. I say very likely.
The first explorations carried out by a Norwegian company in 1998 indicated that the well found during the submarine drilling for all the fields of the block was at a depth of more than two thousand (2000) meters, which would make, there at twenty (20) years, the cost of production totally prohibitive relative to the price of the barrel on the international market.
Finally, nobody is unaware today, the international market for oil trading is depressive; nevertheless, in Togo, sorrowful spirits or schizonévrosis-stricken spirits would like that in the context of an unfavorably fluctuated market, an imaginary and very improbable exploitation of oil would prosper by I do not know what new aberration.
Politics is the art of management and intelligent communication turned to the well-being of people, unlike lies and incantations that harm the public interest!
