.Hinna District Head Urge Youth To Be Peaceful Before During and After The forthcoming Saturday's Local Governments Election In Gombe State
By Ibrahim Salisu Hinna
The district head Hinna in Yamaltu Deba local government area of Gombe state Alhaji Idris Isah Ngurkuma III has called on the youth in the area to prioritize peace, unity, and dialogue over violence in all circumstances, including before, during, and after the 27 April local government chairmen elections.
The monarch made the call in an interview with our correspondent in his palace at Hinna District of Yamaltu Deba local government area
According to him, Violence only serves as a harm to individuals, communities, and society as a whole, and it is important for young people to reject it as a means of expressing their frustrations or grievances, hence the need for Youth to stay away from any violence that may harm individual or the society as a whole.
Instead, he encouraged his teaming youth to channel their energy and passion into constructive activities such as peaceful living, advocacy, and community organizing.
He further stated that, by working together towards common goals and engaging in respectful dialogue with others, young people can bring about positive change and address societal issues in a peaceful and productive manner.
He urged the youth to seek out peaceful conflict resolution mechanisms, such as mediation or dialogue-based approaches, to address any disagreements or conflicts that may arise during the electoral process, where he described that by engaging in constructive communication and finding common ground, young people can help build a more cohesive and inclusive society that values diversity and respects the rights and perspectives of all individuals.
He therefore, thanked Governor Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya for creating an enabling environment in Gombe State and most especially by allowing every duly registered political party in the state to participate in the 27 April local government chairmen elections as enshrined in the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria.
