Dr. Dennis Otuaro Volunteer Media Team Berates SaharaReporters Over Unfounded Allegations Against PAP Administrator

The attention of the Dr. Dennis Otuaro Volunteer Media Team has been drawn to a recent misleading and malicious publication by SaharaReporters, accusing the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Chief (Dr.) Dennis Brutu Otuaro (PhD), of misappropriation of N48.7 billion and other unfounded financial irregularities.rnrnWe wish to categorically state that this so-called “investigation” is nothing but a hatchet job designed to malign the reputation of a man who has brought uncommon transparency, accountability, and renewed hope to the Amnesty Programme and the Niger Delta region at large.rnrnA Track Record of Integrity and ServicernSince assumption of office, Dr.

Otuaro has demonstrated an unshakable commitment to the mandate of the PAP – to consolidate peace in the Niger Delta, empower ex-agitators, and drive sustainable development. His leadership style has been anchored on openness, due process, and genuine engagement with stakeholders.

It is therefore laughable that SaharaReporters, without any credible evidence, would attempt to tarnish the image of the most transparent administrator the PAP has ever produced.rnrnBaseless Allegations and Media TrialrnThe so-called figures being bandied about by SaharaReporters are not only misleading but also mischievously presented to create the impression of fraud where none exists. Government expenditure, especially at the scale of the PAP, follows laid down processes involving multiple layers of approval, auditing, and oversight.

The allegations of “unaudited withdrawals” and “unsupported tuition payments” are clearly fabrications intended to deceive the public and distract from the giant strides already recorded under Dr. Otuaro’s leadership.rnrnA Warning to Mischief MakersrnWe strongly caution SaharaReporters and their sponsors to desist from this campaign of calumny against Dr.

Otuaro. The Amnesty Programme is too critical to the peace and stability of the Niger Delta to be dragged into needless political mudslinging.

Mischief makers must understand that their attempt to discredit the current administration of the PAP will fail, as facts will always speak louder than falsehood.rnrnCommitment to Transparency and PeacernDr. Otuaro remains focused on delivering on his mandate.

Under his watch, the PAP has prioritized prompt payment of stipends, training, scholarship support, and other empowerment initiatives for ex-agitators. Contrary to the narrative of SaharaReporters, the programme has never been more responsive and transparent than it is today.rnrnThe Dr.

Dennis Otuaro Volunteer Media Team reaffirms its unalloyed support for the Administrator and urges all beneficiaries and stakeholders to ignore the baseless propaganda of SaharaReporters. Dr.

Otuaro is a man of integrity, a peace advocate, and a true son of the Niger Delta who will not be distracted by desperate attempts to malign his name.rnrnSigned,rnChief Inko Brightstar (Whoknows Tomorrow)rnCoordinator, Dr. Dennis Otuaro Volunteer Media Team.
