The recent declaration by the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr. Dennis Otuaro, that  “the entire Niger Delta will support only President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 elections”  is not only false, it is deeply manipulative, politically coercive, and an abuse of public office. Dr. Otuaro has no constitutional, moral, or political mandate to speak for the entire Niger Delta. At best, he can speak for himself and his family. To suggest otherwise is to undermine the fundamental democratic right of our people to choose their political path freely and without intimidation. As an appointed public servant, the PAP boss is bound by the principles of neutrality in public office. Nigerian law is clear: the Public Service Rules, the Electoral Act, and our Constitution all prohibit public officials from using their positions to advance partisan political interests. He is not an INEC officer, not a party chairman, and certainly not the political conscience of t...
