The Concerned Niger Delta Civil Society Groups, comprising the Ijaw Youth Consultative Forum, Ex Agitators Third Phase, Ndukwa Youth Association and other key stakeholders, have strongly condemned the false and malicious allegations made against Chief Dennis Otuaro, the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP).
The spokesman,high chief Ebizimor Preye Raphael Chairman/CEO Ijaw Youth Consultative Forum (IYCF) said the allegations are a desperate attempt to derail the progress made by the PAP under Chief Otuaro’s leadership.
He described the allegations as baseless and misleading, stating that Chief Otuaro has never been involved in any act of nepotism, favoritism, or financial mismanagement.
According to him, PAP has made significant strides in promoting peace, stability, and economic empowerment in the Niger Delta region, and that these allegations are aimed at undermining these efforts.
“We are gathered here today to correct the misinformation and outright falsehoods being circulated in the public domain. These allegations, which seek to undermine the integrity and leadership of Dr. Otuaro, are nothing more than a desperate attempt by vested interests to derail the transformative agenda he has championed since assuming office. Dr. Otuaro has remained steadfast in his commitment to the development, peace, and stability of the Niger Delta region, and we will not allow unfounded accusations to taint his hard-earned reputation.
“We call on the general public, stakeholders, and media organizations to reject these spurious allegations and rally behind the ongoing transformation of the PAP under Dr. Otuaro’s leadership. The media, in particular, has a crucial role to play in upholding journalistic ethics by ensuring that reports are based on verifiable facts rather than unfounded speculation.”
