Sequel to the Meeting of the Reformed Niger Delta Ex – Agitators Forum, held Saturday, 3rd May 2025 in Sagbama, Bayelsa State.
Open Letter to the Administrator, Presidential Amnesty Program (PAP), Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO OUR CONCERNS
We the the National Leadership of the Reformed Niger Delta Ex – Agitators Forum and Beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty Program, humbly request your immediate attention to our concerns.
1. Firstly, we urge you to reinstate all unlawfully delisted beneficiaries back into the program, as it is within your administrative powered. This will ensure justice and fairness for those who have been unfairly treated.
2. We request that you take the bold step of presenting our plea to Mr. President His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a significant stipend increment from N65,000 to N300,000, considering the current economic realities. We believe this increment is essential to enable us to cater to our responsibilities and families.
3. We also bring to your attention the increased crude oil production from 800,000 to over 2 Million barrels per day and the gas pipeline project traversing the Niger Delta region to Morocco and France. It’s disheartening that neither Ex – Agitators nor the local communities are benefiting from these projects.
4. Given the current economic challenges, we believe it’s imperative for the President to consider our plea. We are confident that with your support, we can achieve a positive outcome.
5. We aptly emphasize that we for wish a peaceful resolution to this matter and would rather avoid taking to the streets in protest. We believe that a timely and favourable response to our plea will help maintain peace and stability in the region.
6. That our demands should be satisfied in two weeks which dates from our meeting on 3rd May 2025 – 17th May 2025.
What is worth doing, is worth doing well, and we have faith in your ability to effectively represent our concerns.
Sincerely,
Signed:
Owoupele Eneoriekumoh Owous
National Chairman, Reformed Niger Delta Ex – Agitators Forum and Beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty Program.
