PAP: I will Interface With Dr Otuaro Over Delegates’ Empowerment, Vocational Training – 3rd Phase National Chair General Ogidigba

By Joseph Bienbo, Warri

The National Chairman of 3rd Phase, Gen. Ogidigba Godstime Ogidigba has expressed gratitude to the delegates of 3rd Phase Amnesty programme for the warm welcome during his visit to Rivers State on October 10, 2025.

He gave an insightful speech while speaking at the meeting of the Phase 3 Amnesty leaders in Rivers State, highlighting the need for unity and teamwork to move the program forward and set things right for the delegates.

Ogidigba warned PAP beneficiaries against thuggery and acts capable of tarnishing their image and the struggle.

He advised delegates to support Dr Dennis Otuaro, adding that he will interface with Dr Otuaro on the issues of empowerment and vocational training affecting the 3rd phase delegates.

The national chairman said, “I appreciate you the leaders of the 3rd Phase Amnesty Program in Rivers State. We have an agenda, we want to break all existing records. We don’t want to play the role of tauts because we are not tauts. We have agreed to work together. We will not work with the nuisance. Our mandate is to create opportunities for our people. Gone are the era where people drop money to use the delegates of the 3rd Phase to block roads.

“We will not allow anybody to use us to fight Dr Dennis Otuaro, administrator of the presidential Amnesty programme. Let’s have it at the back of our mind that what comes around goes around. Remember you or your brother can be in that office tomorrow. If you fight Dr Otuaro today, others may be sponsored to fight you, paraventure you got such a noble appointment.

“I will interface with Otuaro on the issues of empowerment and vocational training. But I want every complaint to come to me through the various state chairmen of the Third Phase. I am here to serve my people and for personal interests. Everyone will get their entitlement even if you are at home under my administration. I am aware that many of the leaders of the third phase have not been trained. Some have been trained over 2 or 3 times. We will present these issues to Dr Dennis Otuaro administrator of the presidential Amnesty programme. Maybe he is not aware of the plights of the leaders of the 3rd Phase.

Speaking further, General IJB from Rivers State said, “I am General IJB from Rivers State. It is very important that l call the attention of Bayelsa state Governor, His Excellency Senator Douye Diri, D.G DSS, IGP, JTF commander and Dr. Dennis Otuaro to threat to peace in Niger Delta by an impostor by one Elaye Slabor, so-called former Third phase chairman, whose two years tenure ended 16th of last month, but still go around parading himself as chairman.
I was the chairman of the electoral committee that conducted the election that produced him in Benin Motel, Edo State on 10/09/2023.

“We equally call on our father, Tompolo to step into this brewing crisis ,which if allowed to burst out may derail the peace he laboured to bring about in the region.
We also call the Amnesty office, Tantita security firm, NDDC, local content board and other relevant intervention agencies not to have any dealings with the impostor”.
