The Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Emomotimi Guwor, and the Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide have commended President Bola Tinubu for appointing an Ijaw from the Niger Delta region, Dr Dennis Burutu Otuaro, as the new Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
This was contained in separate congratulatory messages issued by the Delta Speaker and the IYC to Otuaro, copies of which were made available to journalists in Warri, Delta State, on Saturday.
Guwor, in the message issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Nkem Nwaeke, described Otuaro’s appointment as “well deserved and a very positive development in the Niger Delta region”.
The Speaker stated that “as someone in familiar terrain, Chief Dennis Otuaro, a Principal Consultant and Chief Executive Officer of Owelle Global Resources and other firms, had been in the forefront of true emancipation of the people of the Niger Delta”.
He stressed that “the appointment is a square peg in a square hole” noting that the pedigree of Otuaro in the struggle, particularly in the area of meaningful engagement of the youth must have been the major reason he found favour from the President.
The IYC, in a statement jointly signed by Sir Jonathan Lokpobiri Snr. and Amb Binebai Yerin Princewill, as President and spokesman, respectively, said, “As a council, we want to specifically commend His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, for not only finding Dr Dennis Otuaro worthy of such appointments but for also listening to the yearnings of the Ijaw Youth Council and the Ijaw people in general.
“There is no iota of doubt that Dr Dennis Burutu Otuaro is the perfect man for the job at this point that Nigeria needs committed and result-oriented leaders at the helm of affairs.”
