21 N'Delta Groups Rise in Defense of Otuaro, Tompolo Against Gbaboyor's Claims

My

No fewer than 20 Niger Delta coalition groups have strongly condemned the blackmails, abuses and unfounded lies peddled against the administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP, Chief Dennis Brutu Otuaro PhD, and High Chief Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo by one according to them hungry and destitute Jude Gbaboyor, secretary to Niger Delta former agitator, Ben Ebikabowei, alias Boyloaf.

The groups which described Gbaboyor as an enemy of Niger Delta, added that he was sacked from the amnesty office as a staff by the immediate past coordinator of the presidential Amnesty Programme PAP, Brigadier general Idiomu due to wrong doings.

The groups which say Gbaboyor is hungry and looking for daily bread include:, Niger Delta Ex-fighters, NDF, Movement for Youths of Good Conscience, MYGC, Urhobo Defenders, Ijaw People's Development Initiative, IPDI, ODM, Niger Delta Indigenous Voice, NDIV, Niger Delta Youth Initiative, NDYI, Isoko Youths For Good Governance, IYGG, Ijaw Students Initiative, ISI, Human Rights Protection Group, HRPG, Niger Delta Transparency Network, NDTN.

Others are, Niger Delta for Good Governance, NDGG, Bayelsa Eyes Group, BEG, Bayelsa-Rivers Coalition, BRC, Edo Riverine Coalition, ERC, Ondo Ijaw Movement, OIM, Rivers Ijaw Protection Group, RIPG, New Age Freedom Fighters, NAFF, Coalition for Underprivileged Rights Protection Group, URPG, Niger Delta Descendants Front, NDDF and  Niger Delta Elite Group, NDEG.

The joint statement signed by its leaders, Elder Emury Bekenawei, Comrade Peter Luke, Mr Cletus Itari, Comrade Efe Tam, Comrade God'spower Joseph, Chief Obonk Stanley, Chief Catalyst Don Pedro, Comrade Gbugbemi Tunde, Comrade Tamaralaye Android, Comrade Joseph Metal, Comrade Daniel Ekio, Comrade Fire Ebi, Comrade Thunder Lafia, and others said insane Jude Gbaboyor acting under the auspices of his boss, Boyloaf should be called to order to avoid bad blood among leaders in the region.

They said Jude Gbaboyor character assassination, blackmails, abuses and disrespect for Tompolo and Otuaro are called for concern as responsible stakeholders of the region.

The coalition who carpeted Jude Gbaboyor Facebook ranting, exonerated Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro from the unfounded blackmails peddled by Jude Gbaboyor, citing that the alleged secret document and others were posted and published by the embattled Henry Okah on his Facebook page in 2020.

The groups said Gbaboyor is attacking Otuaro because, Otuaro refused to allow himself to be manipulated by him ( Gbaboyor) and his boss, stressing that the public should disregard all lies peddled by the desperate and hungry beggar.

However, when a proper investigation was launched by newsmen to unravel the true position of the alleged classified document, our investigation revealed that Henry Okah who is a member of the said Meinbutu voice Facebook page, posted the alleged classified document in the group by himself in 2020.

This convincing investigation showed that the said document was long posted in the public space before the Otuaro recent appointment as administrator of the presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP.

The groups concluded that Gbaboyor accusations are baseless, unfounded, mischievous, barbaric, null and void, adding that Gbaboyor only displayed his ignorance in the public space and that his information lacks facts and should not be taken seriously. 

They further stated that a document that had been in the public space for about four years can no longer be described as a classified document, noting that only fools like Jude Gbaboyor could make unnecessary and attention seeking noises about it.

Stressing further, the groups said Tompolo was the face of the Niger Delta Emancipation Struggle and only insane and poor students of history like Gbaboyor could speak ill about him to seek cheap attention.

They demanded that Mr Ben Ebikabowei alias Boyloaf should call his boy, Gbaboyor to order, to avoid them teaching him a lesson, adding that his stupidity would soon clear from his eyes by the time they finish descending on him.

The Niger Delta coalition groups noted that Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro reforms as administrator of the presidential Amnesty Programme PAP,  was felt in every nooks and crannies in the Niger Delta region, stating that only enemies whose manipulative tendencies were curtailed were angry with him.

The joint statement reads, "nobody has the monopoly to abuse and defame people and go scott free, the law is explicit, we believe he knows the punishment for what he is doing. In case he is ignorant of the devices of the law, he should be wary and begin to refrain, because ignorance is not an excuse in the law.

"We want to state unequivocally that abusing and blackmailing people because someone turns down your selfish demands and manipulative moves, are not traces among the Ijaw people. 

"We watched a video where the insane Gbaboyor was lamenting that he asked Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro for a favour, though he refused to disclose the kind of favour and that it was turned down. It plays out clearly from the video that the reason for Gbaboyor clandestine and lackadaisical activities were because his request for undue favour and attempt to influence his way to Otuaro was denied.

"It is shameful that Gbaboyor could condescend so-low to blackmail and defame people for selfish reasons, we are truly disappointed in him, such a poor mindset parading like a saint in a broad daylight. We urge the public to verify our information on Henry Okah Facebook account. The document is still there till date.

"We appeal to Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro not to be deterred by characters like Gbaboyor who speaks for his stomach. Please continue your good works we are seeing your reforms and innovative leadership qualities as PAP administrator. We are solidly behind you to support and propagate your good works", they stated.
