Akwa Ibom Ex-Militants Forum Backs Tinubu for 2027
The Akwa Ibom Ex-Militants Forum has publicly reaffirmed its support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his re-election bid in 2027 under the Renewed Hope Agenda. In a statement signed by Elder Okoko, the forum expressed confidence in Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro, the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs and Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), while condemning recent calls for his removal.
The forum emphasized the importance of PAP in promoting peace, rehabilitation, reintegration, and economic empowerment in the Niger Delta region. They noted that under Otuaro's leadership, the programme has shifted focus towards education and vocational training, with 243 Niger Delta youths deployed for postgraduate studies abroad in 2026, including 150 to the UK in various disciplines.
The forum rejected claims that Otuaro had lost the confidence of stakeholders, attributing opposition to ethnic or political interests rather than performance assessments.
