The chairman of the Ijaw Youth Council, IYC , Lagos chapter, Mr Tikima Arigban has resigned his office.

He further appreciated the Ijaw youth for giving him the opportunity to serve the Ijaw nation under the Ijaw youth council.

This was contained in a letter he addressed to the president of the Ijaw Youth Council, at Ijaw house, Yenegoa, Bayelsa State in which a copy of it was sent to Congress Newspaper on Sunday.

According to him, he was not pleased with the fact that after the President of Council declared the suspension of the election of the Ijaw Youth Council (I.Y.C) Lagos Chapter from holding until further consultations, the Chapter Electoral Committee (CECO) went ahead to continue and conducted an illegal election.

The resigned IYC Chairman emphasised that his decision was for the interest of peace as he thanked the youths for the golden opportunity given to him to serve the Ijaw Nation.
