The Niger Delta Youth Movement (NDYM), Ondo State Chapter, on Monday commended President Muhammad Buhari for restoring Nigeria’s lost image through his fight against corruption.

The commendation is contained in a statement signed by Mr. Agbejoye Adetoye, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

It said that Buhari’s administration had within one year, restored the image of the country, which was lost for decades in the eyes of the international community.

The group also appreciated the president for injecting integrity and discipline in the conduct of public affairs.

“The record our President has created in just one year of administration is clear. Every living Nigerian can testify that he is living up to his campaign promises.

“I can still remember one of his sayings, “If Nigeria refuse to kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria.

“We want to urge Mr. President to continue his good work and we would be solidly behind him,” it quoted Adetoye as saying.

It solicited the support of Nigerians in the current efforts to end insurgency and rescue all the abducted Chibok girls.

The group urged the president to nominate youths from Ondo into the board of the Niger Delta Development Commission.

FG berates US congressman over comment

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture Photo: Femi Ipaye/PM News The Federal Government has described as sadly out of tune with reality the published letter from US Congressman Tom Marino to Secretary of State John Kerry, asking the US to withhold security assistance to Nigeria on the strength of some imaginary infraction by the Buhari Administration. In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Congressman Marino was poorly informed about the issues he commented on, wondering why he did not take the pains to get first hand information from the US Embassy in Nigeria or any other credible source before engaging in what is nothing but a ‘propaganda of his own imagination’.
