Edith Onyinyechi, Port Harcourt
The appointment of Chief Dennis Brutu Otuaro as the new Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, has been described as a round peg in a round hole by a former Niger Delta freedom fighter, Chief Reuben C. Wilson.
Wilson who is the South-South Coordinator of the Asiwaju Group TAG and founder of Pastor Reuben Initiative for Good Leadership and Accountability PRIFGLA, stated this in a release made available to Newsnowng during the weekend.
The Niger Delta leader explained that the newly appointed PAP boss has been part of the struggle for the survival of the Niger Delta people from the beginning.
He expressed the belief that Otuaro knows what to do to revitalize and reposition the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
“I wish to use this medium to wholeheartedly congratulate you on your appointment as the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
“Your appointment is of great joy to me because you are ‘’a round peg in a round hole’’. You have been part of the struggle for the survival of the Niger Delta people from the beginning and therefore, know what to do to revitalize and reposition the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
“You are adequately prepared and have the requisite experience and knowledge to successfully pilot the affairs of the Presidential Amnesty office.”
Wilson expressed optimism that Otuaro “shall successfully redeem and redirect the office to achieve its primary and fundamental objectives and programmes.
“I know that with your appointment as the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, the era of the true beneficiaries of the programme being abandoned and relegated to the background while non-beneficiaries getting included in the programme and being given priority attention is over.
“You played a crucial role in the activities that led to the establishment of the programme and therefore, wouldn’t allow the programme to continue its derailment and bastardization under your watch.”
He further commended the president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for appointing Otuaro as Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
According to him, “Mr President has once more eloquently demonstrated his knack for identifying and appointing talented and competent people to drive his vision for the betterment of the country.
“I commend you wholeheartedly your Excellency, Sir, for listening to the yearnings of the true beneficiaries and stakeholders of the Presidential Amnesty Programme by appointing a thoroughbred and well-prepared stakeholder to pilot the affairs of the Presidential Amnesty Office.
“Once more, congratulations, Chief (Dr.) Dennis Brutu Otuaro. I wish you the best of luck as you pilot the affairs of the Presidential Amnesty Office to greater heights.”
