Youths in the Northern part of Nigeria, under the aegis of the Northern Youths Movement (NYM) have told the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, Dr Zacch Adedeji, to ignore the House of Representatives member, representing Ideato North Federal Constituency of Imo State, Ikenga Ugochinyere, describing him as “a political hushpuppi looking for another victim.”
The youths said “since Ugochinyere’s political pot of soup in Rivers State got broken and discarded with, he has been silent and out of his business of extortion. Now, he is seeking to enter the FIRS chairman and start extorting money from him.”
Ugochinyere had claimed that a coalition of civil society groups, that he leads was gathering signatures for a vote of no confidence against the FIRS Chairman over alleged breaches of constitutional and economic regulations. He said the petition for Dr Zacch Adedeji’s removal will be released to the public on December 15, 2025.
Reacting, the NYM, in a release on Saturday, which was signed by its Chairman, Mallam Ishaya Jato, said there is no coalition of civil society groups, except one with Ikenga Ugochinyere as sole member.
As a hustler, what Ugochinyere does is to fabricate political titles and non-existing platforms to carry out his scams.
Before now, he was parading himself as the spokesperson of Opposition Lawmakers Coalition in the 10th National Assembly, a position that does not officially exist.
Today, he is leading non-existing coalition of civil society groups, with the main target of getting the attention of the FIRS Chairman, so as to extort money from him. Dr Zacch Adedeji should therefore ignore him.
For us in the NYM, the FIRS Chairman has done tremendously well and he should continue his strides, which can be seen in the increment of non-oil revenue.
Therefore, Ugochinyere should look elsewhere to practice his scamming business.
