DEBUNKING FALSEHOODS: A Response to Misleading Claims by one impostor Owoupele Eneoriekumoh Owous

1. Claim:

“Despite a significant increase in the budget allocation to N151 billion, stipends remain woefully inadequate.”

🔍 Fact Check:
This assertion creates a misleading connection between the increased budget and individual stipends. The Amnesty Programme’s budget encompasses a wide range of responsibilities — including:

Rehabilitation and reintegration initiatives

Skills acquisition and vocational training.

Infrastructure, security, and logistics.

Administrative and operational costs.

Contingency provisions.

Stipends are only one element of this broader financial plan. Therefore, a larger budget does not automatically translate to higher individual payments. Allocation is based on sustainability and long-term goals, not short-term appeasement.

2. Claim:

“Dr. Otuaro is sabotaging the Amnesty Programme and working against the administration.”

🔍 Fact Check:
This is a baseless political accusation lacking any form of evidence. Program administrators regularly face complex dynamics involving limited resources and divergent stakeholder expectations. Accusations of sabotage usually stem from internal political friction, not verified misconduct. Responsible criticism requires transparency, documentation, and proof — none of which have been provided here.

3. Claim:

“Introducing women and new individuals into the Amnesty Programme is unconstitutional.”

🔍 Fact Check:
This is a misinterpretation of both the Constitution and the Programme’s mission. The core goal of the Amnesty Programme is peacebuilding and rehabilitation, not exclusion. Including women and previously unidentified ex-agitators helps foster a more inclusive, long-lasting peace. Furthermore, referencing Section 175 of the 1999 Constitution is irrelevant — this section concerns state pardons by governors, not federal amnesty structures. This represents a blatant misuse of legal references.

4. Claim:

“Dr. Otuaro is making unilateral decisions without consultation.”

🔍 Fact Check:
Such claims are typical in administrative settings experiencing internal tension. Decision-making may occasionally require urgency or confidentiality. Without independent oversight or detailed internal records, this claim remains speculative and cannot be objectively validated.

5. Claim:

“Use of miscreants to undermine founders.”

🔍 Fact Check:
This inflammatory language lacks evidence and appears to be a smear tactic rooted in factional bitterness. No facts have been presented to support this charge. True leadership focuses on accountability and reform, not petty defamation.

6. On Tone and Intentions

The overall tone of the publication is hostile, politically motivated, and deeply factional. Rather than constructive criticism, it reeks of blackmail dressed as advocacy. Without independent audits or verifiable data, the credibility of these accusations is highly questionable.

🔥 OUR REBUTTAL TO THE BLACKMAILERS

It is disgraceful that a self-styled leader of an obscure group would attempt to slander a man genuinely committed to peace and progress in the Niger Delta.

Owoupele Eneoriekumoh Owous — you are a known extortionist, exposed by multiple administrations. Your record speaks for itself: not activism, but blackmail for personal gain.

You once fled to the Benin Republic to evade justice. Now returned, you again peddle misinformation, preying on the public’s trust while hiding behind empty rhetoric.

You oppose policies that extend opportunities to women and families of fallen agitators — a clear sign that you are not a man of peace, but an agent of division.

✊🏽 WE STAND WITH PEACE. WE STAND WITH PROGRESS.

We, the true stakeholders and patriotic leaders of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, issue this statement with clarity and unity:

We stand solidly behind the leadership of Dr. Dennis Otuaro in his effort to maintain peace and promote sustainable development in the Niger Delta.

We recognize his commitment to inclusive consultation, transparent governance, and regional stability. We reject the slander of opportunists and urge the federal government to remain focused on genuine peacebuilding — not factional distractions.
