The National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, Imo State has refuted reports in some sections of the media wherein it was falsely alleged that youth of the State are not happy with Imo State Governor Elect, Hon.Emeka Ihedioha.
In a statement made available to newsmen signed by the Council State Chairman, Isidore Chukwumeka and Bldr. Ngozi Chukwudike, Director of Information and Public Enlightenment, Imo NYCN, it stated that “we would have chosen to ignore this nonsensical assertion by few individuals who feel that the entire Imo State belongs to them, but to avoid misleading the unsuspecting public, we wish to state categorically that the election of Rt Hon.Emeka Ihedioha as the incoming Governor of Imo State has the full support of all the youths of Imo State irrespective of party affiliation
“We make bold to say that there is nothing like “Imo Youth Council” as this is an amorphous organisation and a name used to mislead the general public”
The NYCN advised the public “especially Imolites to ignore this flying news as the one and only apex youth body that have the mandate of the entire Imo Youths and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as the mouthpiece of youths is National Youth Council of Nigeria which is the umbrella of all youths organizations with its State leadership led by Comrade Chukwumeka Isidore
” We make bold to state that there has never been a time the youth body has rejected or is opposing the Rebuild Imo project which is fully on course to redeem the battered image of our dear Imo State by the outgoing Rescue Mission government”
