Delta State: Okowa’s Deputy, Otuaro Is A Niger Delta Militant -opinion by Miscellaneous(m): 9:43pm On Apr 08, 2015
On the matter of the hotly contested Delta State
Governorship beauty parade, many often ask
about the deputy to Okowa, the ruling party’s
candidate. The name of the deputy is Barrister
Kingsley BurutuOtuaro.

The commonest comment of Otuaro is that he is the cousin of Niger Delta Militant Tompolo, commander of Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) once declared “the most wanted man in Nigeria” in 2009 during the administration of late
President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. I can reveal
that he is much more than that. In fact, I have
evidence to suggest that Otuaro is in fact a
Niger Delta Militant himself, responsible for the
kidnapping of foreign workers, destruction of Oil
facilities, running combat operations against the
Nigerian military and terrorising Itsekiri communities in Warri.

Otuaro, like Tompolo, is one of the few militants who have become extremely rich through the amnesty programme and from ransoms paid by foreign companies for the release of kidnapped employees.

Questions will be will be asked as to what Okowa
knew before making the choice of having Otuaro
as his deputy. Certainly Otuaro has dropped the
gun and put on a nice suit; with the hope that
they can re-write history. His personal website
http://www.kingsleyotuaro.com , describes him as ‘a
widely travelled business man, a seasoned
politician, a lawyer, a philanthropist and a
devoted Christian whose wealth of experience
spans across the private and the public sector of
the Nigerian Business economy. He served as
the honourable commissioner representing the
Ijaw ethnic nationality in the board of DESOPADEC’; no mention whatsoever of his more
nefarious background.

It does however mention that ‘prior to his appointment he was the chairman, Okerenko Federated Communities (2000 - 2006), Managing Director, Bruz-OtusNig Ltd, and oil servicing contractors governor on community affairs (2005 - 2007), Chairman, DeltaState Rehabilitation Committee of Internally Displaced Persons (2009)’.

I can categorically confirm that barrister Kingsley
BurutuOtuaro, deputy Governor candidate in the
2015 Delta State Elections is the same person as
KignsleyOtuaro, Secretary General of the terrorist
militant group Federated Niger Delta Ijaw
Communities (FNDIC); which operated alongside
MEND (Movement for the Emancipation of the
Niger Delta). FNDIC was established in 2003,
Otuaro became the president of the group in
2009 when he deposed Chief Bello Oboko
following the amnesty agreement with the
Nigerian Government. The group’s details are
logged as a terrorist group on the online
database of TRAC (Terrorism Research & Analysis
Consortium). United States’ Defence services also
reported on the activities of the group and these
were revealed on the wikileaks files.

In May 2009, Brigadier-General SarkinYaki Bello,
commander of the Joint Military Task Force, JTF,
in Niger Delta, had declared Government
Ekpemupolo the most wanted man in Nigeria.
Tompolo, Otuaro and others led militants in the
Gbaramutu creeks of the Niger Delta who were
responsible for executing 11 soldiers and
operating illegal refineries, bunkering,
vandalising oil pipelines, engaging in kidnapping
and piracy.

One of the most daring operations of FNDIC was
the taking of 9 expatriates as hostages in 2006,
this was detailed in http://nairaland.com. Bello, the
then President, started negotiations with
government representatives led by another
Gbaramatu leader, Chief Jonathan Ari. The Bello
team made a ten point demand that must be
met by the government before the hostages are
to be released. The demands of FNDIC which was
contained in a letter addressed to President
Olusegun Obasanjo and signed by Chief Bello
Oboko, President; MR. KINGSLEY OTUARO,
SECRETARY GENERAL, Chief Government
Ekpomupolo, director of mobilisation, Hon.
George Timinimi, spokesman and Comrade Dan
Ekpebide, chief adviser.

Such a man as Otuaro is not fit to hold such an
esteemed public office and neither is Okowa who
picked him. The change we want in Delta State
is a progressive one and not one were militants
in plane clothes occupy government house. It is
clear that Okowa made this choice to benefit
from the financing and the ‘muscle’ of the
Tompolo axis, but we must ask ourselves whether
these characters represent the future we
envision for our State.
