The Chairman of Akpata-Gbegbe, an oil producing community in Gbaramatu Kingdom, Warri South Local Government Area, Delta State, Chief Timi Oluba has said allegations being peddled against Chief Dennis Otuaro, Administrator of Presidential Amnesty Programme PAP, were false
Oluba, in a statement on Tuesday in Warri, Delta State, noted that Otuaro has shown that he is capable and competent to manage the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
“ Commendably, Chief Dennis Otuaro had repeatedly engaged and meet with Niger Delta stakeholders and ex-militants who are beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty Programme. He has secured their cooperation and support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration”
“ Otuaro is also consulting Traditional rulers in the region, seeking their support for Tinubu’s govt, and while also intimating them of his positive plans for the region”
Oluba, an Ijaw Activist, thanked President Tinubu for the appointment of Otuaro as Administrator of Presidential Amnesty Programme, adding that Tinubu’s decision was right and commendable.
The Gbaramatu Chief, Oluba further warned mischief makers to desist from spreading false allegations against Otuaro, urging Otuaro to remain focused to his assignment.
He expressed optimism that the Presidential Amnesty Programme will be transformed and repositioned to achieve the purpose for which the programme was established by former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
