The Niger Delta Youth Council has issued a seven-day ultimatum to President Bola Tinubu, demanding immediate

action to resolve the raging political impasse in Rivers State. The group threatened to shut down oil production across

the region if their demands are not met.

The youths are calling for the restoration of Rivers State’s statutory revenue allocation, an end to impeachment plots

against Governor Similaye Fubara, and a public retraction of anti-Ijaw remarks attributed to former Governor Nyesom Wike.

In an open letter to President Tinubu, the NDYC expressed concern over Wike’s comments, which they described as

“provocative and inflammatory.” The group accused Wike of being used by the Presidency to sabotage the Niger Delta region.

The NDYC warned that failure to comply with their demands could lead to a total shutdown of oil production, which

would have dire consequences for Nigeria’s economy. The group urged its members to mobilize and disrupt oil

production across the Niger Delta region if their demands are not met.

The Rivers State crisis has been ongoing for weeks, with tensions rising between the state government and the

federal government. The NDYC’s ultimatum has added to the growing uncertainty in the region.

President Tinubu has been urged to intervene in the crisis and find a lasting solution to the impasse. The NDYC’s

demands are seen as a test of the President’s commitment to resolving the crisis.

The Niger Delta region is a critical component of Nigeria’s economy, accounting for a significant portion of the

country’s oil production. Any disruption to oil production in the region could have far-reaching consequences for the economy.
