Elaye Dollar Slaboh."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>By FrontNaija News<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Chairman of the Third Phase Presidential Amnesty Programme, Gen. Elaye Dollar Slaboh, has refuted recent claims made by the so-called Niger Delta Liberators and Ex-Agitators Forum (NDLEF), describing their petition against the Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Dr. Dennis Otuaro, as <strong>misleading, unfounded, and politically motivated<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement made available to <em>FrontNaija<\/em>, Gen. Slaboh clarified that <strong>Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro is not the \u201cSpecial Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs\u201d<\/strong>, as falsely claimed by the group, but the <strong>legally appointed Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP)<\/strong>, under the supervision of the National Security Adviser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He emphasized that under Otuaro\u2019s leadership, the Amnesty Programme has witnessed a <strong>new era of transparency, inclusion, and strategic engagement<\/strong> with genuine stakeholders and ex-agitators across the Niger Delta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is unfortunate that at a time when Dr. Otuaro is cleaning up the system and implementing reforms to benefit the ex-agitators and the region, some faceless groups have emerged to discredit his work with fake figures and unverifiable claims,\u201d Slaboh said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He further dismissed the claims that over \u20a650 billion has been misappropriated, stating that <strong>no such amount has been released or spent by the Otuaro-led administration<\/strong>, and any contract awarded has passed through <strong>due process and relevant oversight channels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the issue of Maro-Kana Construction Co. Ltd, Gen. Slaboh stated that the company\u2019s engagement followed appropriate evaluation, and if there are concerns about its CAC status or operations, <strong>those should be addressed through legitimate audits, not media trials by politically-backed impostors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are tired of these rent-seeking groups who come up with fabricated petitions whenever a new coordinator refuses to play to their selfish interests,\u201d Slaboh said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also questioned the credibility of the NDLEF and its convener, Odey Otunu, who he described as <strong>unknown to the core structures of ex-agitators across the Niger Delta<\/strong>, stating that no authentic ex-agitator from the Third Phase recognizes the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gen. Slaboh reiterated his support for Dr. Dennis Otuaro, calling on the EFCC and other agencies <strong>not to be distracted by <\/strong>some selfish and self centred persons who do not mean well for our Region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By FrontNaija News The National Chairman of the Third Phase Presidential Amnesty Programme, Gen.
