Youths in Abua/Odual
Local Government Area of Rivers State, under the auspices of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), have thrown their weight behind the defection of the Chairman of the local government area, Hon Udi Odum to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The youths expressed their support to the chairman during a solidarity march at Abua Central, recently, where they commended the developmental strides of the chairman, and the people-oriented programmes of the Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
Speaking with newsmen during the solidarity march, the Abua/Odual chapter Chairman of NYCN, Comrade Jonathan E. Oluwasegun said the youths and students of the  area were in full support of the council chairman’s embrace of the APC, led by Governor Chibuike Amaechi in Rivers State, noting that APC would sustain the developmental strides in the LGA and the state in general.
He commended Hon Odum over his youth’s empowerment scheme, which according to him, has availed many youths in the area the access to local and foreign scholarships and skills based development.
While urging the council boss not to be distracted by the activities of his political opponents who “are hell-bent on truncating the development objectives in the area,” the youths vowed to resist attempts at instigating crisis and causing unrest in Abua/Odual communities.
In his remark, the President of Abua/Odual Students Union, Mr Augustine Dawari also expressed the students’ support to the chairman, saying the chairman’s move to the APC will enable him focus on the development of the area.
He also thanked Hon Odum for his concern  for educational development in the area.
