BREAKING: Edo NYSC Punishes Corps Members With 90-Day Extension For Protesting Unpaid N77,000 Allowance In WhatsApp Group

Edo State Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mrs. Frances Ben-Ushie, has extended the service year of over 30 corps members by 90 days without pay, SaharaReporters has learned.

The affected corps members, who completed their mandatory one-year service on March 17, 2025, were issued a "Notification of Extension of Service" instead of their NYSC Discharge Certificates.

Reports indicate that the extension serves as a penalty for their complaints about the non-payment of their N77,000 allowance, which they had shared in a WhatsApp group.

@Ashyks "It’s funny how their small minds work. You can only change someone’s mind if they haven’t experienced the truth firsthand but once they have, no amount of propaganda can erase reality.

@BashirElRufai Them no lie for this aha, tinubu is mugu, we are seeing our consequences of our actions

[Ray @Ray_snap]

Let me tell you why Tinubu is the ‘best’ president for the youth:
- He refused to pay NYSC members a living wage—after all, the whole scheme is made up of young people.**
- He hiked data prices—because, of course, most internet users are the youth.
- He ‘made life easier’

“I am with you!”

This was my message today to the heart of our nation - our Youth, as I inaugurated the National Youth Conference planning committee.

To our Nigerian Youth: You hold the advancement of this economy in your hands. You represent over 60% of our population. I will continue to help navigate, push and lift the heavy weights so I can clear the path for you to have a great future.

I will do everything to make Nigeria a better place for young people and all Nigerians.

@MFaarees_ @elrufai Best of luck

[Ray @Ray_snap]

@BashirElRufai Hopefully we will get them all

[Ray @Ray_snap]

@BashirElRufai They will. The mission ahead is bigger than personal interests or old grudges—we must unite as one to defeat the betrayers.

@BashirElRufai Shikenan 😅

@Waspapping_ If you take this man seriously, then you might as well stop using your brain to cross the road.

@IU_Wakilii Just the beginning

[Ray @Ray_snap]

@BashirElRufai The funny thing is, he became a senator, but Bello has more influence in every part of Kaduna, including his own constituency.

[Ray @Ray_snap]

@IU_Wakilii We will shock them! What happened in Kano will happen in Kaduna too, PDP is a dead party.

[Ray @Ray_snap]

@BashirElRufai Back to 101 😅

[Ray @Ray_snap]

@IU_Wakilii I am not surprised by what I see, The people have wisdom, they know where to place their trust. They can tell the difference between empty words and true intent, Between those who play politics and those who deliver. A leader’s record speaks louder than promises.

[Ray @Ray_snap]

@BashirElRufai He will stand at the heart of our revival,
A key architect in reshaping Nigeria’s fate.

By God’s grace, his wisdom will guide the way,
And the economy shall breathe anew.

[Ray @Ray_snap]

@elrufai You have walked where many feared to tread,
Not for gain, not for comfort, but for truth.
Now, the weight of a nation leans on your shoulders,
For among the elders, only a few still see the path ahead.

Stand firm, Mallam, for the hope of the country rests with you.

Do you know what it means for a founding father to walk away from the house he built?

Malam could have stood aside, arms folded, watching as the administration tore the nation apart. After all, the suffering of the masses does not weigh on him as it does on them.

FULL STATEMENT OF MALLAM NASIR ELRUFAI LEAVING APC.

As a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), I have fond memories of working with other compatriots to negotiate the merger of political parties that created the APC. It had been my hope since 2013 that my personal values and that of the APC will continue to align up to the time I choose to retire from politics.

Developments in the last two years confirm that there is no desire on the part of those who currently control and run the APC to acknowledge, much less address, the unhealthy situation of the party.

On my part, I have raised concerns in private and, more recently, in public regarding the capricious trajectory of the party. Therefore, at this point in my political journey, I have come to the conclusion that I must seek another political platform for the pursuit of the progressive values I cherish.

Founders rightly feel attached towards institutions they helped create, but one must be pragmatic enough to admit when a divergence appears unbridgeable. I have diligently served the APC and made my contributions to its viability as a political platform, but I recognize that the party has since strayed and left me stuck in the vision of its well-meaning founding fathers and mothers.

As a loyal party man, I worked to help secure the APC’s election victories in 2015, 2019 and 2023. I was one of the many governors elected on the party’s platform in 2015 and 2019, that stood for certain democratic and progressive principles to advance nation-building. My eight-year tenure in Kaduna State was devoted to implementing progressive policies to advance human development in education and healthcare, as well as expand infrastructure, promote equality of opportunity, create jobs and attract investments. These records count for little in the current APC that has castrated its organs and treated its membership with contempt in the last two years. I find this no longer acceptable.

Today, 10th March 2025, I have submitted a letter resigning my membership of the APC to my ward in Kaduna, effective immediately. Prior to this step, I had concluded consultations with my mentors, colleagues and loyalists across the country about the future. I have now decided to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP), and adopt it as the platform for our future political engagements and activities.

Without prejudice to this decision, as a member of the SDP, I will focus on engaging with and persuading other opposition leaders and parties to join us and congregate under a unified democratic platform to challenge the APC in all elections and bye-elections between now and 2027 by the Grace of God. I therefore call on all our supporters and other persons concerned about our country’s future to join us in the SDP in the journey towards making Nigeria flourish as a beacon of pride for Africans and the Black Race.

Thank you and God Bless the Social Democratic Party.
God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
