Ex-Youth Leader Cautions Against Violence
The former President, Omerelu Youth Association (OYA), Mr. Stanley Amadi , has cautioned against criminality, especially by young people as the country gears for another general elections.
Amadi said this when he spoke with newsmen in Omerelu in Ikwerre Local Government Area, yesterday.
The Omerelu ex- Youth Leader, who spoke against the back drop of the burning of a certain politician’s building in the community recently, said such was not in consonant with the character of an Omerelu man.
According to him, violence under whatever guise cannot provide solution to any issue, but would rather worsen it.
He said people must learn how to embrace peace and follow it to the latter, if harmonious living meant anything to them.
The former OYA boss expressed regrets that some people could still go wild even in the face of many peace and conflict channels in the state and country at large.
For the young people, he informed that they the ones whose future in being gambled with and should henceforth, not consent to any negative advice no matter the angle it was coming from.
“We must think more on how to live in unity. People must shun violence and not to consider it as any means of conflict resolution. Peace is the in-thing and must be maintained at all levels”, he said.
On the arson carried out on the politician’s house by some hoodlums, he warned against such in order to avoid total break down of law and order in the community.
He recalled how Omerelu was plunged into crisis some years ago and added that a second phase of such ugly development ought not to be experienced.
Meanwhile, he cautioned against ‘fortification’ of young people for election purposes by politicians as it will thereafter, lead the beneficiaries into crime.
