Coordinating youth body, Nigerian Youth Congress (NYC), has passed a vote of confidence in Youth and Sports Minister Sunday Dare and kicked any call for his removal as Mr. Blessing Akinlosotu, the President of the Congress, gave the indication in a statement in Abuja.
Akinlosotu said that the minister had been very open to the youth and had always engaged leaders at all levels to stabilize the ministry and introduce a new phase for the youth in Nigeria while also stating that the call for the minister’s removal was coming from a faceless group under the name of Coalition of Youth Organizations.
“The minister has, in a recent statement, noted that the Federal Government through the instrumentality of the ministry has tried to resolve the NYCN leadership crisis, clearly, those fueling the crisis have no interest of the Nigerian youth at heart; the ministry has been left with one choice: partner youth organizations on merit.”
He further revealed that the council had called on the coalition to stop the blackmail forthwith, describing as fallacy any plan to link the minister with any form of illegality as they had already passed a vote of confidence in him because of his many accomplishments in promoting a new course for the nation’s youth via the congress and can effectively attest that he is doing well.
