The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), has debunked the purported
suspension of its President, Amb. Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo. This was made known
while addressing media men at the National Secretariat of the NYCN, by the
members of the National Executive Council (NEC) of NYCN. According to the
National Deputy Secretary General of NYCN, Comrade Rikki Nwajiofor, Amb. Sukubo
remains the president of the National Youth Council. “Amb. Sukubo Sara-Igbe
Sukubo remains the only President of the National Youth Council of Nigeria
(NYCN), any other self-acclaimed President, whether in acting capacity or not,
is a desperate impostor and should be treated as such and disregarded”. Rikki
Nwajiofor further stated that the NEC of NYCN has not suspended the NYCN Deputy
President – Amb. Innocent Nduanya; Secretary General – Abubakar Suleiman Esq;
and the National Treasurer – Comrade Nnamdi Ezemagu. According to him, “the
above mentioned members of the National Executive Council (NEC) of NYCN are
still bonafide members of the NEC”. Mr. Rikki also debunked the alleged three
