June 12, (THEWILL) – Ahead of the 2027 general elections, a Political Movement under the aegis of Dennis Otuaro Door-2-Door for Bola Ahmed Tinubu 2027 has been launched in Warri, Delta State, to garner support for the re-election of President Tinubu back into office.
The group, under the auspices of ex-agitators in Phases 1 and 3 of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, said they have declared their total and unwavering support for President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, even as Nigeria marks Democracy Day.
In a statement issued and signed by General Aroni Oputu, National President, Presidential Amnesty Programme Phase 1; General Preye Ekpebide, National Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Programme Phase 3; General Alhaji Letugbene, National Vice Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Programme Phase 3, and General Emma Satu, Secretary, Abuja Chapter, Presidential Amnesty Programme Phase 3, and made available to THEWILL, said they salute the courage of all the leaders who worked tirelessly and sacrificed their lives, time and resources to ensure the survival of Nigeria’s hard-fought democracy over the years.
According to the statement, “Despite the fact that there are still daunting challenges facing our nation today, we believe that with hope, dedication, perseverance and prayers, the yearnings, aspirations and expectations of all Nigerians will be met and that in no distant time, Nigeria will be great again.”
The group said they give special recognition to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the pivotal role he played in the turbulent era of military rule when he and his colleagues in NADECO fought the military to a standstill and finally succeeded in bringing democracy back to Nigeria in 1999. “Indeed, Mr President, you are a Democrat, a statesman and a National Hero”.
“Twenty-six years of uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria has shown that Nigeria is on the right side, compared to other African countries like Burkina Faso, Chad, Niger Republic and Mali, where the military has since returned to power. It is a known fact that in these countries, the boys in Khaki have cornered their country’s constitutional powers and wealth to themselves, but Nigeria is thriving democratically with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the driver’s seat.
“There’s no gainsaying that under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s watch, Nigeria has taken giant steps through policies targeted at the economy, education, health, infrastructure, power and other key sectors, towards making Nigeria a united, progressive, developed, egalitarian and virile nation as well as pride in the comity of African nations and globally.
“The Dennis Otuaro (Door 2 Door) 4 Bola Ahmed Tinubu (D2D4BAT) is a political movement which comprises people from all walks of life. It will interest you to know that this political movement cuts across all the local government areas, wards, communities and ethnic nationalities in the Niger Delta. Our Patron, Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro, the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, is a political strategist and core loyalist of Mr President and believes in the continuity of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“We are declaring our unflinching and total support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election as we gradually march towards 2027. Our support for Mr President is borne out of the belief in his impactful leadership and giant strides in every sector since he was elected by the majority of Nigerians in 2023. And we are convinced that Nigerians will rally behind him again come 2027.
“This organisation, ably led by our amiable Patron and Leader, Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro, has thrown its total weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election because he embodies good governance culture, and respect for the rule of law and the Nigerian constitution. In the past two years of his administration, Mr President has manoeuvred turbulent waters to enrich the democratic practice in Nigeria and expanded the frontiers of development across the length and breadth of our great country.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro’s visionary, innovative and pragmatic leadership, supported by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, has fostered lasting peace in our communities, creeks and on our waterways. The drastic reduction in criminal activities in our region, such as pipeline vandalism, oil bunkering and theft, as well as piracy, is the result of Dr Dennis Brutu Otuaro’s deliberate effort as an agent of change and driver of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s policies and programmes.
“We are excited to say that Mr President, through his Renewed Hope Agenda, has not only strengthened the unity of Nigeria but promoted peaceful co-existence, stability and development across the nation. His leadership has truly ushered in a new lease of life for all Nigerians, including the people of the Niger Delta.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has displayed uncommon courage in confronting the economic challenges that have bedevilled our country for so long, stagnating our socio-economic growth and infrastructural development. To turn the nation around, Mr President has exhibited an uncommon leadership style, backed with a sense of patriotism, courage, intellect, passion and wit, while marshalling Nigeria towards greater heights ever attained”, the statement read.
