The group in statement  by its National Publicity Secretary, Eferebo Sylvanus, said the fake news was sponsored by a league of mischief makers.

The statement said, “For the records, the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme   was conceived and birthed by the Federal Government as a timely intervention of the Late President, Umaru Yar’Adua in 2009. Since inception, the initiative has effectively pursued the aims and objectives that inspired its formation through the various amnesty implementation programme.

“On July 28,  2015, President Muhammadu Buhari in his proactive style of appointing capable hands, recognised the prudent roles played by Boroh and appointed him as the Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP.

“On assumption of office, Boroh strategized and introduced a paradigm shift geared towards the realization of the amnesty defined goals and the cardinal motives for its set up. Assessing the contributions of the incumbent Coordinator from 2015 till date, Niger Deltans and Nigerians can attest to his enviable inputs and developments recorded.

“Boroh in his relentless effort to promote and ensure accountability in all milieu has been playing exemplary roles towards the success of the programme. As a self inspired task, he embarked on a fact finding mission in pursuit of the completion and timely delivery of all awarded contracts that were never executed even though the bills were paid to the shady contractors in full.”
