Dr Chibuike Echem, President of Princeton Leadership Forum has called on youths not to vandalise INEC properties during this electioneering period for credible elections ro take place.
Echem made the call while speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Saturday.
“It is important we understand that as young people, this country belongs to us.
“The process of electioneering is for us to be able to elect credible leaders, leaders that have capacity and empathy to be able to govern us as a people.
“I want to discourage the idea of young people going to destroy properties of the Federal Government,” he said.
He observed that at the short or long run, acta of violence would result to wasting of public funds as those infrastructures were put in place to enable credible elections.
Echem maintained that young people must prepare themselves to be part of the 2023 polls in order to elect credible leaders.
He said while going out to vote, ,youths should vite for leaders with credentials who have good track records and are sensitive to the plight of the average Nigerian.
According to him, these are the things to be considered when going out to vote.
“That is why we are trying to bring a lot of young leaders for the peerless leadership summit this year that is happening on the eight of December at the International Conference Centre.”
He claimed that the summit would look at the impact of leadership at different sectors of the country.
Echem assured that the summit would be a great event that shall showcase lots of values concerning leadership.
He said, “we cannot continue to have transactional leaders, Nigeria is graduating to transformational leaders, leaders that are burdened with the concerns of the people.
“Leaders that are interested in making sure that the people’s resources are used to develop the people, who are concerned about our education, our economy, our social abilities , our hospitals and our health systems.
“So, these are the things we are going to be looking at in the course of this years’s conference.”(NAN)
