Otuaro condoles ex-PAP boss, Kingsley Kuku, over mother’s death

The Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Dr Dennis Otuaro, has expressed his condolences to the former Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Chairman of the PAP, Dr Kingsley Kuku, on the demise of his mother, Keketobou Jane Kuku.

Kuku passed away on October 14, 2025, at the age of 90.

Otuaro, in a statement issued on Friday by his spokesman, Igoniko Oduma, said he received news of the passing of the Kuku family matriarch with shock and sadness.

He described Kuku as a woman of virtue who lived a remarkable life and raised her family with the fear of God, hard work, love, discipline, and sacrifice.

Otuaro said it was not surprising that the imprint of her strong moral standing and uprightness in life were exemplified in the character of her children, particularly Kingsley, who he said exhibited such principles of firmness and dedication to the cause of humanity in public service.

He noted that Kuku was not only dedicated to her faith, but also the progress of her Arogbo Ijaw community in the Ese Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State.

While condoling with Kingsley, the PAP boss urged the former presidential aide, his siblings, and the extended families to accept her death as the will of God.

He also advised them to be consoled by the life of purpose and service to community and humanity their late mother lived.

Otuaro prayed to God to “grant the soul of Madam Kuku eternal repose, and also comfort Kingsley, the entire families and all those she left behind.”
