FRONTLINE LEADERS, GENERALS & COMMANDERS OF DEFUNCT NIGER-DELTA LIBERATION FRONT (NDLF) IN OGONI AXIS PASS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE ON THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE PRESIDENTIAL AMNESTY PROGRAMME, DR. DENNIS BRUTU

We, the Leaders, generals and commanders of the defunct Niger Delta Libration
Force (NDLF) in the Ogoni Zone of Rivers State, encompassing the Eleme, Gokana,
Khana, and Tai Local Government Areas, hereby issues this press statement to
formally express our resounding vote of confidence in the administrator of the
Presidential Amnesty Programme, Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro.

Ogoni, historically and presently, stands as a significant contributor to the Niger
Delta Struggle, epitomized by figures such as Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni 9, who
sacrificed their lives for the economic, environmental, and socio-political
emancipation of our region. As leaders of the genuine struggle for the Niger Delta,
we recognize Dr. Otuaro as a fitting embodiment of our aspirations and ideals.

Dr. Dennis Brutus Otuaro, is known for his vocal advocacy for the Niger Delta
region. He has been at the forefront, consistently championing the cause of
infrastructural development, environmental protection, and equitable resource
allocation. His deep understanding of the challenges facing our region, coupled
with his track record of performance as a seasoned administrator, makes him the
perfect fit for the role.

We extend our sincere commendation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his
thoughtful and constructive decision in appointing Dr. Otuaro to oversee the
Presidential Amnesty Programme, a reflection of the President's unwavering
commitment to fostering peace and development in the Niger Delta region.

Chief Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro's selection emerged from a careful consideration of a
list of recommended candidates. We urge the rest of them who are equal
stakeholders to contribute their wealth of knowledge and expertise towards
achieving the programme's objectives, as Dr. Otuaro has demonstrated his
openness to collaboration with all parties involved.

Moreover, this is the first time a key stakeholder in the Niger Delta Struggle who has
direct and convivial relationship with all the leaders and generals in the struggle
has been appointed to handle the affairs of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.

Dr. Otuaro's accessibility to all stakeholders. Despite the fact that he is from Delta
State, he has proved to us that those of us from other states of the region are
equally important. He is ready and committed to resolving all outstanding disputes
and disagreements in the programme to carry everybody along, without leaving
anyone behind

His openness to constructive feedback, and dedication to the core mandate of the
programme reassures us of his capability to deliver tangible results.

We the leader, generals and members of the defunct Niger Delta Libration Force
(NDLF) in Ogoni Zone of Rivers State, unequivocally pledge our full support and
declare a vote of confidence on the leadership of Dr. Otuaro led Presidential
Amnesty Programme. We also use this medium to urge all stakeholders in the
Niger Delta, including skeptics, to rally behind Dr. Otuaro in ensuring the success of
this crucial task of realizing the goals of the Programme for the benefit of the
region and the Nation at large.
