Don’t be distracted by detractors, IYC tells PAP boss

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) has called on the administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dennis Otuaro, not to be distracted by detractors, especially those who do not mean well for the Niger Delta region.

The spokesman of the umbrella body of Ijaws youths worldwide, Binebai Princewill, in a statement, reiterated the support of the council for Otuaro and his administration, stressing that he should continue with his good works.

Princewill made the remark, yesterday, when the administrator and his team stopped over at his office in Warri to engage with other leaders and members of IYC.

While describing Otuaro as one of the most humble Niger Delta and Ijaw leaders in government, Princewill particularly urged him to remain focused, stressing that the IYC is proud of him.

He also appealed to the PAP administrator to consider the IYC in the scheme of things in his strong drive to reposition the amnesty programme, adding that the IYC is very critical in the polity.

The IYC spokesman lauded Otuaro for engaging stakeholders across the region, adding that it is only enemies of Ijaw nation, Niger Delta, Nigeria and agent of darkness that will be criticising Otuaro, who is currently revamping the amnesty programme.
