In a statement seen by Legit.ng on Thursday, August 22, the IYC alleged that Lokpobiri is to be blamed for the current fuel scarcity in Nigeria.
The Ijaw Youth Council has told President Bola Tinubu that a particular minister is not good enough for his current role.
Recommending that Lokpobiri be replaced, the IYC said: “There are more competent people even from Bayelsa that could have done a better job than him. The man clearly does not understand the workings of that office.
“We have not seen any tangible results since his appointment.”
Meanwhile, the Movement for the Survival of the Izon Ethnic Nationality in the Niger Delta (MOSIEND) has called on the IYC to tender an unreserved apology to Lokpobiri over what it described as an unwarranted attack on the former senator’s personality.
MOSIEND condemned the IYC’s criticism of Lokpobiri and asked the group to immediately withdraw their statement.
Furthermore, MOSIEND counselled IYC to ask for forgiveness from the minister.
