NYCN Encourages Youths To Vote, Prevent Electoral Crimes In The Next Gov./Assembly Elections

The Zamfara State chapter of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has urged young people in the state to cast their ballots in large numbers on Saturday in the gubernatorial and state house of assembly elections.

The council claimed that by doing this, the demographic would be able to safeguard their interests and guarantee their development in all respects for the general advancement of the state.

The state council’s chairman, Bashar Garba, urged youths to abstain from all electoral offenses in a Friday interview with journalists in Gusau, the state’s capital.

The aforementioned security personnel would spare no one who helped fuel the state’s insecurity or election violence.

Garba added that there was no question that the state’s underdevelopment was caused, in large part, by insecurity.

He praised young people for supporting the peaceful conduct of the presidential and National Assembly elections and urged them to continue the gesture in the governorship and state assembly elections as a sign of their faith in the nation’s democratic system.

Let me commend our youth for supporting the peaceful completion of the presidential and national assembly elections and ask them to continue the gesture in the gubernatorial and state assembly elections that will take place on Saturday, March 18.

We thus urge all young people in the state to vote in large numbers since it is the only way to influence the outcome of an election in a democracy.

The NYCN asked Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, to establish more job opportunities and skill-acquisition centers for young people around the nation after taking office.

In particular, he urged the President-elect to appoint more young people to the Federal Ministry of Youth. “We are appealing to the President-elect that immediately upon taking office, he should create more centres for skill acquisition for the youths across the nation, create more jobs for the youths, and appoint more youths as ministers,” he said.
