According to Edon: “Following the expiration of the tenure of the Comrade Joe Jackson-led executive of NDYM, the National Executive Council (NEC) in a unanimous decision at its last meeting, held on July 27, 2019 at our secretariat in Port Harcourt mandated the nine states chairmen to take over leadership as the interim-cum electoral committee to save the organisation from vacuum or collapse.
