Meanwhile, the Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon Friday Osanebi, speaking through his media aide on new media, Mr Agbanashi Obinne has dismissed the allegations and accused the so called youth leaders as nothing but detractors of the Ndokwa dream.
According to the aide, who spoke to Ndokwa Reporters, the same set of Ndokwa youth leaders who attended the recent meeting to unify the youth organisations organised by the deputy speaker in the area are the same youths who attended the so called meeting, and wondered what they are trying to achieve by such double standard among the youths, advising them to be reasonable and be upright in their doings, for the sake of the future of the Ndokwa ethnic nationality in the state.
Also reacting to the resolution by the youths, Mr Jude Dike has called the actions of the youths as politically orchestrated which must be condemned by all well-meaning Ndokwa sons and daughters.
In a post which he made in Ndokwa Town Hall, Mr Dike, said that the Deputy Speaker deserves the supports of all well- meaning Ndokwa youths, since his actions had being geared towards the empowerment of the youths.
“The Deputy Speaker of the DTHA – Rt. Hon. Friday Osanebi deserves the support of all well-meaning Ndokwa youths and people. His actions since he emerged as the Deputy Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly have been geared towards the political and economic empowerment of all Ndokwa people, especially the youths”. He said.

While acknowledging the fact that the deputy speaker may have his weakness, he advised the youths to retrace their decision as Rt. Hon Friday Ossai Osanebi has the potential not only to move Ndokwa youths but also the Ndokwa nation to a more enviable position.
