We believe that these initiatives will have a profound and lasting impact on our ex-agitators and communities."

The IPF emphasised the importance of continued support from youth, leaders, and stakeholders across the Niger Delta region for Dr. Otuaro's agenda. "We urge all parties to rally behind him to ensure the successful delivery of his programs and the overall progress of our region," the statement read.
