National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, has advised the All Progressives Congress, APC, to cede key positions in the 9th National Assembly to the South-East zone.

The council gave the advice through its Orlu Zonal Chairman, Mr John Nwaulu, who spoke to newsmen in Owerri on Tuesday.

Nwaulu, who was a former youth President of Imo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (ISOPADEC), Ohaji/Egbema chapter, stressed that the leadership of the 9th National Assembly, should not be hijacked.
