Arogbo Ibe Voice launch In Ondo
On behalf of the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Dr Dennis Otuaro, who was a distinguished guest of honour at the Launching of Arogbo-Ibe Voice media outlet, Mr. Samuel Twatimi, Head of PAP Ondo State Liaison Office, delivered the following speech:
Distinguished elders, honored guests, esteemed members of the media, and my fellow Niger Deltans,
It is a profound privilege to stand before you today, bearing the goodwill and message of Dr. Dennis Otuaro, the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme. We gather here not merely to celebrate the birth of a news platform, but to witness the dawn of a new era for the Arogbo Ibe Kingdom—a time when our stories, aspirations, and collective strength will resonate far beyond these shores through the lens of Arogbo Ibe Voice News.
In the annals of history, there comes a moment when a people must rise and take charge of their destiny. This moment, dear friends, is upon us. The Niger Delta has long been known for its rich cultural tapestry and the wealth of natural resources beneath our feet. Yet, it is unity, above all, that will be the key to unlocking our future potential. As the saying goes, "United we stand, divided we fall." Now is the time for us to bind our spirits together, as strands in a mighty cord, unbreakable in our shared purpose.
Since assuming office just a few months ago, Dr. Otuaro has taken swift and meaningful action to ensure that the path toward sustainable peace and development in the Niger Delta is not just imagined but realized. His tireless efforts include numerous consultations with women groups, ex-agitators, and other critical stakeholders across the region. These meetings have been vital in fostering dialogue, promoting reconciliation, and ensuring that the voices of all Niger Deltans are heard and integrated into the broader vision of lasting peace.
Under Dr. Otuaro’s ’s steady and visionary leadership, the Presidential Amnesty Programme has made significant strides toward nurturing peace and fostering development. But make no mistake, peace is not merely the absence of conflict—it is the presence of justice, opportunity, and hope. Dr. Otuaro has labored tirelessly to sow these seeds, yet it falls upon us, the people, to water them with our faith and cooperation, for only then will they bear the fruit of sustainable progress.
The media, my friends, holds the sacred responsibility of being the heartbeat of society. Platforms like Arogbo Ibe Voice News have the power not only to inform but to transform. I implore our media to be more than just spectators in this unfolding narrative. Be the champions of unity, the heralds of our victories, and the voice of the voiceless. Like a lighthouse guiding ships to safety, the media must illuminate the path forward, fostering understanding, cooperation, and solidarity among our communities.
Let us not be as reeds swayed by the wind of division, but as the oak, deeply rooted in our shared values and purpose. The Niger Delta is a land brimming with untapped potential—our youth, our culture, our resources—all waiting to be harnessed for the greater good. By uniting our hearts and minds, we can create a region where prosperity is not the exception, but the rule.
I must commend the initiators of Arogbo Ibe Voice News for their bold vision. This platform stands as a testament to the power of storytelling—a medium through which we can showcase our resilience, our culture, and our unity to the world. I have no doubt that Arogbo Ibe Voice News will serve as both the mirror and the megaphone of the Niger Delta's aspirations.
In closing, let me leave you with this: the road ahead will not be without its challenges. But as long as we stand together, in unity and cooperation, we will overcome. Let us move forward with the shared vision of peace and development, hand in hand with Dr. Otuaro's tireless commitment to a prosperous Niger Delta. The time for action is now, and the responsibility lies with us all.
Thank you, and once again, congratulations to Arogbo Ibe Voice News on this historic launch. May it shine brightly as a beacon of hope and unity for generations to come.
