A development advocacy group in the Niger Delta region, Voice of Niger Delta for Equity and Justice, has commended the foresight of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the appointment of Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro as the new Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP).
Brutu Otuaro replaces Maj. Gen. Barry Ndiomu (retd.) who has been in charge of the programme for the past two years.
The appointment, according to a release issued by presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, President anticipates that the new Administrator will bring his requisite experience and know-how to this role to revamp the Amnesty Programme and advance the realization of its founding purpose and vision.
However, the Voice of Niger Delta for Equity and Justice in a statement jointly signed by its Director General, Chief Dr Williams Onohwakpor and Chairperson, Dr. Mrs. Success Ebierebo Motajo in Abuja, on Friday viewed the appointment as incontrovertible proof of President Tinubu as a listening leader who is committed to the development of Niger Delta.
The group hailed the President Bola Tinubu administration for showing a bold will to fix the wrongs in critical areas of the Niger Delta. Noting that the removal of Maj. Gen. Barry Ndiomu (retd.) was long overdue.
“We, the entire members of Voice of Niger Delta for Equity and Justice, wish to applaud the benevolence of the President Bola Tinubu for the appointment of Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro as the new Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP).
“This appointment is a round peg in a round hole.”
“The Niger Delta as a whole reposes abiding faith in Brutu’s ability to keep the trust and live up to the expectations of Mr President and our regionregion,” the statement added.
