The Niger Delta Peace Advocates, NDPA have discredited with dismay the narrative being put out on the media against the Interim Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP, Major Gen. Barry Ndiomu (Rtd) by some unidentified groups and individuals.

In a statement released on Friday 10th February, 2023 and jointly signed by the Chairman of the Chairman and Publicity Secretary of the group, Ebitimi Kurowei and Ekpe Ekere, stated that ordinarily, silence would have been best suitable for the efforts targeted at undermining the Interim Administrator but it became relevant to address the well-calculated ploy making the rounds to tarnish the personality of Ndiomu.

The statement also noted that in one of the recent attempts by the faceless group or individuals to discredit Ndiomu, a petition was written to the National Security Adviser, General Major Babagana Mongono, whose office oversees the PAP, seeking the removal of the Interim administrator.PAP: Elders, traditional rulers calling for Ndiomu’s suspension are fictitious, faceless, non-existence – NDIG

The group further recognized the efforts by the Interim administrator in sanitising the Presidential Amnesty Programme, noting that they are fully in support of his decision of paying only contractors whose works were completed and verified.

Furthermore, the group urged contractors to complete their work with evidence as a requirement for payment rather than spreading propaganda in the public, the statement added.
