Following an attack by a faceless group, “Project Niger Delta” The People’s Development Initiative (IPDI) has written a stern warning to enemies of Niger Delta sponsoring unpopular, unfounded, mischievous, barbaric and lackadaisical attacks against the administrator of the presidential Amnesty programme, Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro to desist.

Reacting on the group’s attack on PAP administrator which is described as a non-existing faceless parochial group, branding and parading under, the Project Niger Delta (PND) following an endorsement by the president of Ijaw National Congress, INC, Professor Benjamin Okaba on behalf of Council, IPDI said it would not allow enemies from the pit of hell to defame, demarket and distract the PAP administrator.

The group’s, National president, Comrade Ozobo Austin in a statement said, “Our attention has been drawn to an odious, vexatious, inciting and a provocative online publication by enemies of Niger Delta parading under the cover of a faceless group “Project Niger Delta” attacking the most qualified and experienced Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP, Dr Dennis Otuaro and the president the Ijaw National Congress, INC.

The statement reads, “We wish to state that those sponsoring attacks against Dr Dennis Otuaro are agents of darkness and enemies from the pit of hell and that such attacks and unpopular opinions never represent the collective interest of the Ijaw nation. The sponsors of the attacks should also know that Dr Dennis Otuaro is not deterred by any attack from any quarter but very committed to transforming the almost collapsing presidential Amnesty programme to benefit the Niger Delta region. It is our candid advice to the bandwagons to retrace their steps and stop inimical attempts to pull down their brother for selfish interests, and join hands with him to build a legacy for the PAP for the benefit of the region.

“It may Interest you to know that Dr Dennis Otuaro is a man who has brought sparkling reforms, innovations and total commitment to advance and improve the performance of the amnesty programme and that only enemies who want to keep the office in a total blackout for the interest of their pockets are attacking him.

IPDI described PND’s statement as “misleading” and “unfortunate”, stating that Okaba’s endorsement was a testament to Otuaro’s unwavering leadership and commitment to revolutionary reforms of the PAP to better beneficiaries and the Niger Delta region at large. They accused PND of being “agents of darkness” attempting to discredit Otuaro and Okaba.

“We want to state unequivocally that the sponsors of the said publication acted in ignorance, because there is no part of the INC constitution that states that the president must gathered the entire Exco before expressing gratitude and appreciation in away of endorsement of deserving Ijaw sons and daughters who are doing well.

IPDI commended Okaba for the wisdom to support his own, saying he had done what is noble and that the endorsement was for the interest of the Niger Delta people. They urged the public to disregard PND’s statement, which they claimed was fueled by jealousy, envy and a desire to incite and divide the region.

The IPDI’s statement stressed, “We stand solidly behind Dr. Otuaro, who has consistently demonstrated his dedication to the progress and transformation of the presidential Amnesty programme in a few days in office. We will not allow the antics of mischief-makers like faceless PND to distract Otuaro from accomplishing his set goals in the office. The faceless PND are the bounce of hungry men who want to cash out by blackmailing Otuaro and the PAP office.

“We know the people behind the attack, they are some purportedly angry members of the same Ijaw National Congress,INC.
It is our warning that such persons should desist from further attack on Otuaro. If they have a dispute with their INC president, let them sort it out between themselves because if they try it, we will expose their identities.
The PND day dreamers and sponsors who are suffering from mouth diarrhea and dementia should know that Dr Dennis Otuaro is the substantive administrator of the presidential Amnesty programme and not a self-acclaimed PAP Administrator. The president Bola Ahmed Tinubu, NSA and the National Assembly are relating with him cordially and that PND sponsors should hide their face in shame.

“We, however, strongly condemn the PND sponsors’ statement alleging that some Ijaw big brothers are depriving and enslaving the voiceless majority and making themselves lords over the Ijaws in Delta and beyond. This is a desperation taken too far. It is shameful. Our big brothers are the reason why the Niger Delta Emancipation struggle is still making strong impacts. They should be commended for their selfless sacrifices and unwavering contributions to the Niger Delta struggle. They are not enslaving and depriving anybody rather have empowered thousands of persons to earn a living.

“We want to state again that the faceless and parochial authors of the said provocative publication are poor students of history, where were these faceless people when the “Mein part of the Ijaws were dominating the political space beginning from military to democracy, instead of them using such opportunities to advance the development of Ijaw nation and groom young youths, they spent the long privilege to be blocking, and enslaving their brothers and thinking they will be there forever. It is sad, we should refrain and stop the pull him or her down syndrome in Ijaw nation and Niger Delta region and work with our big brothers who are more concerned about the Ijaw and Niger Delta struggle.

“It should be also noted that Otuaro is not seeking any endorsement from anyone, his appointment is valid, verified and stamped by Mr president Bola Ahmed Tinubu and NSA. He is the popular choice of Ijaw nation and the Niger Delta at large, so Otuaro attackers should go and hug and kiss the transformer and die”, the noted.
