Boro Day: Ex-agitators Leader Urges Youths To Support Otuaro

The national chairman of Phase 2 of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Ibena Rufus Salvation, has commended the programme administrator, Dr. Dennis Otuaro, for his message during the Boro Day celebration.

He described Otuaro’s speech as timely and inspiring, especially in calling for peace, unity, and intellectual engagement among the youths of the Niger Delta.

Salvation, who stated this in Yenagoa on Monday, echoed Otuaro’s call, urging all sons and daughters of the Ijaw nation and the entire Niger Delta region to stop the “pull-him-down” attitude and instead support one another for the good of the area.

“Let us learn from Major Isaac Boro’s legacy. He fought for justice and freedom, not division. We must unite, show love to each other, and work together to develop our land,” he said.

He further called on youths to embrace the peaceful and inclusive direction of the Amnesty Programme under Dr. Otuaro’s leadership.

“I sincerely commend Dr. Dennis Otuaro for his leadership and commitment to the programme’s vision. His focus on transparency, empowerment, and peacebuilding has brought tangible progress to our people.

“Dr. Otuaro is working hard to fulfil the mandate of the Amnesty Programme, and his dedication deserves our support, not unnecessary criticism. I also want to use this opportunity to join Chief Dennis Burutu Otuaro to call on all ijaw sons and daughters and indeed the entire Niger Delta, to follow the legacy of Major Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro.

“He stood for unity, justice, and the development of our region. It’s time we end the pull-him-down syndrome that keeps holding us back. Let us lift each other and work together to build a better future for our people”, Salvation stated.
