Angry rights activists and youth leaders from Bayelsa State have threatened to sue Governor Seriake Dickson over his alleged refusal to fulfil a contract signed between his administration and renounced cultists on youths’ rehabilitation.
They also threatened to drag the governor to court over his alleged non-commitment to bursary payment plans in the last three years in the state.
The aggrieved youths, in collaboration with the officials of the National Youths Council of Nigeria and the Ijaw Youths Council also demanded an apology from Dickson over alleged failure of his administration to empower and develop youths in the state.
Former President, NYCN, Bayelsa State, Bright Igrubia, made this known in YYenagoa on Wednesday during a special Radio Interactive programme.
He said aggrieved youth leaders had handed a 30-day ultimatum to Dickson to review his policies on youth development and reverse the noticeable retrogression of such policies on youth matters in the last few months.
Igrubia said, “The youths are angry because they embraced the restoration policies of the present administration. After 34 months of the present administration, we have witnessed a drastic decline in the youth initiatives of the administration.
“The last 34 months of the present administration have been a waste. And it also witnessed a poor relationship between the state and the youth.”
Igruibia noted that the relationship between the youth and the State Government had deteriorated in the state with poor communication.
