Responding to speculations by a group claiming allegiance to the suspended president of NYCN to undermine the suspension of Ambassador Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo, the National Youth Council of Nigeria NYCN has restated its ground on transparency, accountability, and the welfare of the Nigerian youth.
While refuting claims made by the anonymous group, NYCN noted that the acting President Comrade Akoshile Mukhtar continues to lead NYCN with a dedication to fostering robust and responsible youth representation.
“It is imperative to note that calling Sukubo to account is not an attack, but a demand for transparency which is a core principle for any democratic organization, especially one representing the interests of Nigerian youth.

“As an organization that is mandated to serve Nigerian youth, the NYCN and its leadership should prioritize their welfare and concerns at all times.
“It is also crucial to note that internal conflicts must be resolved transparently to maintain trust in the leadership’s ability to advocate for youth interests.
“As such, attempts to deflect attention from the core issues by discrediting the demand for accountability raise doubts about the faceless group’s commitment to openness and honesty.
“True leaders address concerns and answer questions during crises. To this end, the call for Sukubo to address allegations against him should not be personalized but embraced as a test of accountability from a leader representing the vast population of Nigerian youth.”
It therefore pleaded with its members to foster unity among our fellow members, stakeholders, and the public in understanding that the Nigerian youths deserve leadership that prioritizes their needs over personal disputes as a body that provides a conducive environment for engagement.
