Ahead of 2019 general elections, the initiator of Great Achievers Award and convener of I Stand for Peace Road Walk, Comrade John Anyebe, has tasked youths in Bwari Area Council of FCT to embracepeace and shun violence.
He made the call in Bwari during a road walk to sensitize youths on the dangers of violence before, during and after elections.
He noted that youths in Nigeria were been misled as they are used for political violence and various levels of criminal activities instead of being used as agents of positive change.
According to him: “We started this peace campaign from Bwari area council because of what happened here last December and we intend to use this place as a pilot scheme to reach other area councils and we call on our royal chiefs to take the lead by standing with us in this campaign for peace.
To all youths, I charge you to shun every call to violence from any politician.
Choose to be an ambassador and an advocate of peace.” Speaking in the same vein, the Cofounder of I Stand for Peace RoadWalk, Comrade Zaka Nehemiah, declared that: “We are advocates and ambassadors of peace.
Peace is priceless and we are calling on all politicians, royal chiefs, and every elder in Nigeria to stop using the youths for their personal political gains to perpetuate violence in Nigeria.
Stop killing our dreams and stop destroying our future.” On his part, the Sarkin Bwari, Alhaji Awwal Musa Ijakoro, emphasized the need for peace in any environment stating that: “Without peace there cannot be progress and I am appealing to the youths, to keep away from violence.
We see the efforts of the Minister of the FCT at maintaining peace in Bwari and I want to use this medium to call on him to do more to empower the youths with more jobs and businesses so as to keep them off the path of political violence, criminality and drug abuse.” “I also charge religious leaders to preach peace in churches and mosques and to continue in prayers for peace in Bwari and in Nigeria as a whole”, he stated.
