OFFICIAL REJOINDER FROM THE OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT, NDYCN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REJOINDER TO THE FALSE CLAIMS AND MISLEADING PUBLICATION BY MR. BECKHAM UFUOMA ERHARHINE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My attention has been drawn to a highly irresponsible and misleading publication made by Mr. Beckham Ufuoma, who has been parading himself as \u201cPresident\u201d of the Niger Delta Youth Council of Nigeria (NDYCN) and issuing reckless statements targeted at respected leaders of the Niger Delta region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For clarity and public understanding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Mr. Beckham Ufuoma is an impostor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    He has never been elected, appointed, nominated, or endorsed at any level of the NDYCN structure.
    He operates with no mandate and no legitimacy whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. NDYCN has only ONE recognized National President.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      That office is vested in Amb. Blessing Adogbeji, duly acknowledged by stakeholders, youth blocs, regional leadership, and partnering institutions across the Niger Delta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. NDYCN strongly distances itself from Ufuoma\u2019s reckless comments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        His statements do not represent NDYCN. They represent only his personal frustration, desperation, and failed attempt to seek relevance through impersonation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. His attempt to run a parallel structure is criminal, fraudulent, and completely rejected.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          No individual can form a one-man contraption and attempt to drag a respected Niger Delta institution into disrepute. NDYCN will not tolerate such impersonation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. The Niger Delta Youth Council stands firmly with the Presidential Amnesty Programme under the leadership of Chief (Dr.) Dennis Otuaro.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Chief Otuaro\u2019s administration remains the most peaceful, stable, and development-driven since the inception of the programme.
            His hands-on engagement, transparency, and impact across the region speak for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Anyone attacking Chief Otuaro without facts is simply exposing their own ignorance and lack of understanding of Niger Delta governance dynamics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              The NDYCN will continue to defend and support credible leadership that delivers results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. The public is hereby advised to disregard the impostor\u2019s publication in its entirety.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                He has no platform, no constituency, and no authority to speak for the Niger Delta youths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                NDYCN remains focused on unity, strategic engagement, and regional development.
                We will not allow desperate, unauthorized individuals to undermine the integrity of this great institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Signed,
                Amb. Blessing Adogbeji
                National President,
                Niger Delta Youth Council of Nigeria (NDYCN)
