Blessing Adogbeji frowned at the activities of Ufuoma Beecham, stressing that the statements made by him do not represent yearning and aspirations of NDYCN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambassador Adogbeji who was reacting to some comments in a section of the media credited Ufuoma Beecham, insisted that those comments represent only Ufuoma\u2019s personal frustration, desperation, and failed attempt to seek relevance through impersonation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said, \u201d My attention has been drawn to a highly irresponsible and misleading publication made by Mr. Becham 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<p>\u201cFor clarity and public understanding, Mr. Becham Ufuoma is an impostor. He has never been elected, appointed, nominated, or endorsed at any level of the NDYCN structure and operates with no mandate and no legitimacy whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNDYCN has only ONE recognized National Presidentt which 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<p>\u201cNDYCN strongly distances itself from Ufuoma\u2019s reckless comments. 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<p>\u201cThe Niger Delta Youth Council stands firmly with the Presidential Amnesty Programme under the leadership of Chief (Dr.) Dennis Otuaro.\u201d,he said<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amb Adogbeji reaffirmed NDYCN support for Chief Otuaro\u2019s leadership, saying that his administration remains the most peaceful, stable, and development-driven since the inception of the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that Otuaro hands-on engagement, transparency, and impact across the region speak for themselves, stating that anyone attacking Chief Otuaro without facts is simply exposing his own ignorance and lack of understanding of Niger Delta governance dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe NDYCN will continue to defend and support credible leadership that delivers results.The public is hereby advised to disregard the impostor\u2019s publication in its entirety. He has no platform, no constituency, and no authority to speak for the Niger Delta youths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNDYCN remains focused on unity, strategic engagement, and regional development and we will not allow desperate, unauthorized individuals to undermine the integrity of this great institution\u201d, the statement concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Esther David The leadership of the Niger Delta Youth Council of Nigeria(NDYCN) on Wednesday&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5184,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3,14],"tags":[1689,401,1690],"class_list":["post-5185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime","category-opinion","tag-impersonation-ndycn-berates-ufuoma-erharhine-beckham-over-attack-on-amnesty-boss-otuaro","tag-others","tag-warns-him-against-parading-himself-as-president-of-ndycn"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_5694.jpg?fit=828%2C840&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5183,"url":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/index.php\/2025\/12\/10\/ndycn-national-president-blessing-adogbeji-makes-official-rejoinder-to-false-claims-and-misleading-publication-made-by-ufuoma-erharhine-beckham-calls-him-an-impostor\/","url_meta":{"origin":5185,"position":0},"title":"NDYCN National President Blessing Adogbeji Makes Official Rejoinder To False Claims And Misleading Publication Made By Ufuoma Erharhine Beckham, Calls Him An Impostor","author":"Freeborn Abraye","date":"December 10, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"By Ebiowei Gabriel OFFICIAL REJOINDER FROM THE OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT, NDYCN REJOINDER TO THE FALSE CLAIMS AND MISLEADING PUBLICATION BY MR.
