The National Chairman of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) Phase Two, Ibena Rufus Salvation, has dismissed reports suggesting that the programme’s administrator, Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro, is under pressure, describing him as focused on his official responsibilities and ongoing mobilisation efforts in support of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.<\/p>\n
Salvation, in a reaction to an online report, rejected the suggestion that Otuaro was facing pressure over a Freedom of Information (FOI) request submitted by a blogger seeking information about the programme’s overseas scholarship beneficiaries and related expenditure.<\/p>\n
According to Salvation, the PAP administrator was not under any pressure but remained occupied with his duties and political mobilisation activities in support of Tinubu’s re-election bid. <\/p>\n
He maintained that Otuaro was concentrating on his responsibilities rather than being distracted by reports suggesting otherwise.<\/p>\n
“Otuaro is not under any pressure, but busy working and mobilising for President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s re-election,” Salvation said.<\/p>\n
He also criticised what he described as attempts to blackmail the PAP administrator, calling on those responsible for circulating such claims to desist from using reports he considered false and unverified to attract public attention, particularly on social media platforms.<\/p>\n
“Stop the sheep blackmail. Stop using fake, unverified stories to get attention on social media,” he said.<\/p>\n
Salvation maintained that reports suggesting otherwise did not reflect his assessment of the PAP administrator’s current activities and commitments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
