Civil society organizations identified as African Leadership Strategy & Transparency Development Initiative, have called on Delta State Governor, Elder Sheriff Oborevwori, to urgently intervene in the growing leadership crisis rocking the Igbuzo Youth Council (IYC) in Ibusa, Oshimili North LGA.

In an open letter signed by Amb. Nelson Ossaieze and Comrade Victor Itsede, the CSOs warned that the situation is fast deteriorating and could lead to violent cult clashes if left unaddressed.

The letter revealed that a peace meeting held on July 21, 2025, at the state secretariat following a previous petition dated May 28, ended in a stalemate.

The CSOs warned that political interests are fueling the crisis and creating hostility on the ground, with community tension rising daily.

They called for a fact-finding mission to assess the situation firsthand and prevent further escalation.
