By Freeborn Abraye <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our attention has been drawn to some misleading information and outright lies spread by one faceless Odey Otunu and his co-travellers pretending to be members of a non-existing Niger Delta Liberators and Ex,-Agitators Forum (NDLEF) against the administrator of the presidential amnesty programme, Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro in Punch and Vanguard newspapers on Saturday. These fifth columnists, who seem to be suffering from severe ignorance and dementia, are peddling falsehoods in a bid to damage the hard-earned reputation of the PAP administrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To set the record straight, Otuaro’s appointments were based on merit and not to suit any particular interest. The latest empty petitions and propaganda were attempts to distract Otuaro from his mission to reform and reposition the PAP, and that every well meaning leader, youth and stakeholder of the Niger Delta must stand against the detractors who are pursuing personal interests.
The non-existing NDLEF and its co-travellers misfired. The PAP administrator Dr Otuaro has done nothing wrong to be investigated by EFCC. No money is missing in the PAP office. The faceless NDLEF petition written to the EFCC is baseless, barbaric, concocted and contains nothing but lies. The EFCC can’t entertain empty petitions that are based on nothing, rather than hearsay and propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very shameful that the troublemakers, who appear to be deceitful and manipulative, like Jacob, but also ruthless and aggressive, like Esau are manipulating and formulating misleading information against the PAP office for no fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worthy of note that there is no group such as self-styled Niger Delta Liberators and Ex Agitators Forum (NDLEF). It is the figment of the imagination of the insane Jude Gbaboyor and his cohorts. We have consulted a CAC consultant to verify the group registration status, but we were told that there is no existing group like the above name. This is a clear proof that the group is a fake and non -juristic entity. So it lacks power to sue and be sued. It doesn’t have the legal ground to petition anyone because it is an illegal group. What Gbaboyor is doing could be described as an unlawful gathering, which is a treasonable felony which is punishable in the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may interest you to know that the public is being awash with a series of propaganda against the highly respected Administrator of the presidential Amnesty Programme and High Chief Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo by one mentally deranged Jude Gbaboyor who is fighting to be retained after being sacked by the previous PAP administration led by General Ndiomu, and that there is nothing new about the latest petition and propaganda peddled by the said miscreants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the petition is of the same subject matter with the previous petitions by jobless vagabond Jude Gbaboyor whose stock in trade is to intimidate and threaten government officials to get undue favour. The issues raised were unsubstantiated and discovered to be false and a tale of the moon, hence the petitions were considered dead at arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wish to educate the so-called untrained and unschooled cowards of faceless NDLEF parading under the whims and the caprices of Jude Gbaboyor that there is no money missing in the PAP office. There is visually nothing that the PAP office does that the presidency is not aware of. There is nothing to be investigated in the PAP office because nothing is missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public is aware that the current administrator Dr Otuaro is prudent in handling money in the PAP office. All well meaning Niger Delta leaders and stakeholders are satisfied with the Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro policies and reforms in the PAP office, so no concocted story from the pit of the hell can outshine the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We however, advise the mischief makers to desist and join other well meaning leaders and stakeholders to give massive support to the administrator of the presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP, Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro to use the PAP office to implement his transformative reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
