The Niger Delta Youth Congress (NDYC) has passed a vote of no confidence on the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, over allegations of economic sabotage and criminal activities within the Nigerian Navy.
The NDYC, which represents the youth of the Niger Delta region, condemned the Navy’s involvement in crude oil theft, diversion, and providing security escorts for oil thieves, labeling it a betrayal of the nation’s trust. They demanded a thorough investigation into the allegations, including the recent incident involving MT PRESTIGIOUS and MT MONTAGU, and called for those found guilty to face justice.
The group emphasized that such activities undermine the security and economic stability of the nation, exacerbate the suffering of the Nigerian people, and sabotage the efforts of the President Bola Tinubu administration. They urged swift and decisive action to rectify the situation and promote lawful maritime activities for the benefit of all Nigerians.
The NDYC’s move is a call to action for the government to address the crisis in the Navy and ensure accountability among its leadership. The nation awaits a response to this development, which has sparked concern among Nigerians.
