The Forum also reaffirmed its backing for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu. In a joint statement, the Forum's leaders denounced recent calls for Otuaro's removal, stating that such actions are based on individual grievances and not the Ijaw ethnic group. They emphasized the importance of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) in maintaining peace, rehabilitation, and economic development in the region. The group urged for transparent investigations into any allegations against PAP and commended Otuaro's focus on education, professional training, and skills acquisition. The Ex-Militants Forum also urged the Federal Government to allow Otuaro to continue his work and support initiatives that promote long-term peace and economic growth.",
