Festus Utuama, Hon. Dr. Richard Kofi, Senator Emmanuel Aguariavwodo, Hon. Chief Taleb Tebite, Hon. Reuben Izeze and other well meaning leaders of the LGA.

“I hereby direct representatives of the Board of Trustee of Ewu Youth Council, Hon. Micheal Aye, to immediately dissolve the executive of the Ewu Youth Council led by Mr. Ovie Oboruaro Ughelecha”, he added.
Responding to the directive, Hon. Michael Aye, through a motion dissolved the Ewu Youth Council executives and the motion was supported by Comrade Kingsley Odutemu.
Affirming the motion which was unanimously adopted by all youths present, Hon. Gbeke gave the youths of Ewu axis two weeks ultimatum to re-constitute new executives for Ewu Youth Council with a written apology.
On their part, Evangelist Charles Buluku, former Special Assistant to immediate past Governor Ifeanyi Okowa on Political Matters, Comrade Sunny White and others, who also spoke during the meeting, pleaded on behalf of the unguided Ewu youths for forgiveness, adding that they were not in any way in support of the protest.
