The Ondo state chapter of the Niger Delta Youth Movement (NDYM) has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for “redeeming the country’s lost image”.

In a statement issued on Thursday, Agbejoye Adetoye, chairman of NDYM, expressed appreciation to Buhari for his efforts towards making integrity and discipline the watchwords of Nigerians.

“It is on record that integrity, discipline and honesty are gradually returning to our public life unlike in the past when impunity was the order of the day,” the statement read.

“The president’s popular slogan, `If Nigeria refuses to kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria’ is fast gaining a strong footing in public consciousness.

“The anti-corruption campaign of the present administration has prevented the country from total collapse.

“We are grateful to the president for securing the recent release of  21 Chibok girls. We pray that his dream for a new Nigeria will not be cut short.”

Adetoye said the movement was satisfied with the recall of erroneous nomination of Adetokunbo Ajasin as the Ondo state representative in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) board.

He said Ajasin’s nomination was against the NDDC Act 2000 and 2001 as amended.

Adetoye appealed to the president to let the voice of Niger Delta youths count in the nomination of another Ondo State representative in the board.
