NIGER DELTA LIBERATION FORCE - (NDLF) OGBA, EGBEMA, NDONI LGA (ONELGA) ZONE - TO PASS A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE ON THE OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE PRESIDENTIAL AMNESTY PROGRAMME - PAP.

(Protocol)
The attention of the Niger Delta Liberation Force - NDLF Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Zone has been drawn to a recent press conference granted by the Coalition of Civil Society Organizations in the Niger Delta on some national TV stations, wherein it berated and discredited the appointment of Chief Dennis Otuaro as Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Program.

At the said report, the leader of the group, one Dennis Nakor Francis alleged that the Presidential Amnesty Program has been passive since the appointment of Chief Dennis Otuaro as the Administrator, and thus, called on the National Security Adviser to shop for his replacement.

Another member of the group, one Harrison Ominini advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to bring in someone who can be easily accessed by the people.

The NDLF Onelga Zone, wishes to use this medium to discountenance the said report by the Coalition of Civil Society Organizations in the Niger Delta, as it was done in a bad faith with a clear motif to malign the character of Chief Dennis Otuaro, whom they tried so hard to look for what to discredit him before Mr President, but found nothing against him.

It was also evident that the move was clearly sponsored by some faceless elements in the Niger Delta for selfish interests, and with the intent to distract the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Program, Chief Dennis Otuaro from delivering on his commitment to reposition the PAP.

As we stated in our earlier press conference wherein we commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for the appointment of Chief Dennis Otuaro, whom we consider a square peg in a square hole, to man the affairs of the Presidential Amnesty Program, we wish to advise detractors to steer clear to allow the PAP Administrator settle in and do his work.

For purpose of emphasis, the appointment of Chief Dennis Otuaro as the Administrator of PAP by the Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration shows that it is committed to addressing the concerns of the Niger Delta people (which gave rise to arm struggle and insecurity in the first place), as this is the first time someone who understands the background of the struggle and was part and parcel of it, would be appointed to man the office of Administrator of the PAP since its inception.

Although this is not an avenue to hold brief on his behalf, but Chief Dennis Otuaro has been tried, tested and has proven himself by his track record of exemplary leadership when he served as a top-level executive of NDDC, as he was very much committed to addressing issues of the Niger Delta and was very much accessible to all.

He knows all those who were directly involved in the Nigeria Delta struggle and understands the challenges and concerns of the PAP, and this is evident in his efforts so far in reaching out to stakeholders of the struggle and ongoing consultations barely few weeks in office, and therefore should be allowed to concentrate.

In as much as we know that at all times there are bound to be personal interests, but we believe that the overall development and peace in the Niger Delta region ought to naturally override such interests.

Therefore we advise the faceless individuals sponsoring people to discredit the appointment of Chief Dennis Otuaro to have a rethink. Instead let us join forces and support the PAP Administrator and his team to succeed for the overall good and development of the Niger Delta.

The Niger Delta Libration Force Onelga Zone, hereby pass a vote of confidence on Chief Dennis Otuaro and urge him not to be distracted, but focus on bringing his wealth of experience to bare in realizing the vision of Mr President for the Niger Delta project
