Akwa Ibom Ex-Militants Forum Backs Otuaro Amid Criticism
The Akwa Ibom Ex-Militants Forum expressed its support for Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro, the Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, condemning recent calls for his removal. The forum highlighted the significance of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) in fostering peace, rehabilitation, and human empowerment in the Niger Delta.
They praised Dr. Otuaro's focus on education and vocational training, noting the expansion of PAP’s Postgraduate Scholarship Programme, which deployed 243 Niger Delta youths for postgraduate studies abroad in 2026, including 150 to UK universities. The forum rejected claims that Dr. Otuaro has lost the confidence of stakeholders, attributing some opposition to ethnic or political interests.
They affirmed that PAP serves the collective interest of the Niger Delta and Nigeria. The forum also reiterated its support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Renewed Hope Agenda, emphasizing the need for stability and investment in human capital in the region.
