A stakeholder of the Presidential Amnesty Programme and the Chairman of the Izon Cultural Heritage Centre (ICHC), Apostle Bodmas Prince Kemepadei, has launched a renewed voters’ awareness and anti-social vices campaign in the coastal communities of Bayelsa State.

The exercise that began on Monday in Koluama community, sitting at the bank of the Atlantic Ocean, involved the distribution of 10 clippers and accessories, cash to 100 persons, fishing nets for 50 individuals, 100 school sandals, 100 socks, 500 customised 60-leaf renewed hope exercise books, 500 biros, mathematical sets, school uniforms, and other writing materials.

Apostle Kemepadei, represented by his Director General, while addressing the indigenes, stated that the exercise was in solidarity with the vision of High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo (Tompolo) and the transformative leadership of Dr. Dennis Otuaro as coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), who have both consistently emphasised unity, discipline, and alignment with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“This exercise is a movement of renewed hope, a call to action for every Niger Deltan to seize the ongoing voters registration exercise as a tool of empowerment, while rejecting the chains of anti-social vices such as pipeline vandalism, oil theft, and lawlessness that have held our Region back for decades, under the PAP leadership of Dr. Dennis Otuaro, we further declare that the Niger Delta will no longer be defined by agitations, but by peace, productivity, and unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda as also echoed by our leader and father, High chief Oweizide ekpemupolo (tompolo),” he said.

He utilised the occasion to appeal to the indigenes to take advantage of the ongoing voter registration exercise, while advising them to shun criminality and other anti-social vices that are inimical to the region’s development.

In response, one of the beneficiaries, Paghaebi Amos, appreciated the leadership of Dr. Dennis Otuaro and pledged to continue supporting the programmes and policies of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration.

Apostle Bodmas added that the campaign will continue in other targeted communities.
