Amnesty Forum Chair Ogidigba Backs Administrator Dennis Otuaro’s Reforms

The leadership of the Amnesty Delegates Forum has commended the United Ex-Agitators for boycotting the planned protest earlier scheduled for August 24, 2026.

The forum’s chairman, General Ogidigba Godstime Ogidigba, described the decision as a step in the right direction, urging stakeholders to embrace constructive engagement and dialogue in resolving pending issues.

He called on genuine Amnesty leaders and beneficiaries to support the reforms of Chief Dennis Otuaro, which he described as key to achieving the full benefits of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.

Ogidigba also appealed to aggrieved Amnesty leaders to channel their grievances to the overall leader and custodian of the programme, High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, for a round-table meeting.

He said such engagement would provide an opportunity for all outstanding issues to be discussed and resolved amicably.

The forum further urged Ijaw leaders and other stakeholders to support Tompolo in sustaining peace, stability and development across the Niger Delta region.
