FOUR HMs OF NYP EMERGED AT THE NYCN EXCO ELECTIONS

After a long time of legal battles that rocked the leadership of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), all the aggrieved parties had later resolved to bury their grievances in other to have a way forward for the youth sector development in this country. This arrangement resulted into the conduct of a free and fair election into the Executive Council of the NYCN during the just concluded 2010 National Youth Congress, held at the Merit House, Abuja, from June 30th to July 3rd, 2010.

With the supports from the Federal Ministry of Youth Development, Nigeria, the Caretaker Committee who had been paddling the canoe of the Council for a while was dedicated towards having a successful transition programme. Likewise, the Electoral Committee Members were neutral in organising a well accommodating election.
From the list of the contestants, four distinguished Honourable Members (HMs) at the Nigerian Youth Parliament (NYP) vied for different positions in the Election. At the end, four HMs won and one person lost to his opponent:
(1.) Hon. Esse G. Umot (Akwa Ibom North-West) as Deputy National President
(2.) Hon. Aishatu J. Bashir (Bauchi South) as Vice National President, North-East
(3.) Hon. Mbanusi Emman as the Treasurer
(4.) Hon. Ibekwe Alexander (Anambra Central) as Ex-Officio, South-East
(5.) Hon. Oscar D. Kalu (Abia North) lost out.

On behalf of the distinguished HMs of the NYP, we send our CONGRATULATORY MESSAGES to these worthy ambassadors of the dynamic Parliament for their victories at the polls. We also re-instate our continuous supports to Hon. Oscar D. Kalu who lost in the contest as the Vice National President (South-East) for the second term. With our spirit of brotherhood and national integration, we will all continue to work hand-in-hand towards achieving a national unity. In an historic event which was graced by more than seventeen HMs, we are saying a big congratulation to all the emerged Excos of NYCN, under the leadership of Comrade O.J. Ajani as the President.

Long live the Nigerian Youths!
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!
