The Forum of National Youth Leaders of Political Parties in Nigeria (FNYLPPN) has sounded the alarm on a group of individuals masquerading as members of the forum, defrauding unsuspecting persons.
In a joint statement, the forum’s leadership condemned the actions of these imposters, emphasizing that only serving National Youth Leaders (NYL) of political parties are recognized as members of the forum.
The statement warned that these individuals, mostly deposed or former youth leaders, should not be seen as representing the forum or acting on its behalf.
The FNYLPPN commended the government for its handling of recent protests, particularly the Minister of State for Youth Development, Hon. Olawande Wisdom, and security operatives who demonstrated professionalism and patriotism.
The forum emphasized the need for dialogue to address the challenges facing the youth and the nation.
