The Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro, has extended warm felicitations to the traditional ruler of Okochiri Kingdom in Rivers State, His Royal Majesty, King Ateke Tom, on his 62nd birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Otuaro described King Ateke as a great leader who has demonstrated unwavering commitment to the peace and unity of not only his community but the Niger Delta in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that the Rivers monarch, who is also the ‘Sekuro of the Niger Delta’, has contributed so much to the peace, stability, security and development of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, King Ateke has continued to perform his royal duties with passion and dedication since he ascended the throne, stressing that his footprints of service to the people are visible in Okochiri Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Otuaro expressed his deep respect for the traditional institution and acknowledged the important role of royal fathers in community development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He reiterated that traditional rulers are among critical stakeholders of the Niger Delta that the PAP would always engage and collaborate with, to strengthen the programme’s peace-building process in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While celebrating King Ateke for attaining the milestone, the PAP boss urged the good people of Okochiri Kingdom to continually support him and his council of chiefs to sustain the peace and progress of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He prayed that God Almighty would give King Ateke more wisdom, renewed strength, good health and long life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said,” Today, I join family, friends and all people of goodwill, as well as sons and daughters of the Niger Delta, to heartily celebrate the King of Okochiri Kingdom, His Royal Majesty, King Ateke Tom, on the occasion of his 62nd birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Attaining this milestone is a proof of God’s mercy and grace upon the life of King Ateke. He is a worthy traditional ruler and a great leader who is strongly committed to the unity, peace, and progress of his community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are proud of his huge contributions to the peace, stability, security and development of our region, which cannot be wished away by anybody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Since ascending the throne, King Ateke has continued to render commendable service, and lead his people on the path of peace and progress of Okochiri Kingdom. He has also been very supportive of efforts at peacebuilding and development of our region. It is my earnest prayer that God Almighty will grant him more wisdom, renewed strength, good health and long life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
