The youth campaign
organisation of Bauchi State governor, Isa Yuguda, on Tuesday pleaded
with the youth of Bauchi State to shun violence. Instead, the group
said, they should as future leaders always explore peaceful ways of
expressing their grievances.

The chairperson of
the organisation, Hussaini Aliyu, made the plea at a news conference in
Bauchi. He expressed regret over the orgy of violence that trailed the
presidential election in the state. Mr Aliyu said that given the fact
that the presidential election was free and fair, the act of violence
experienced in parts of the North was most unfortunate. “The election
was peaceful, but after the exercise some unpatriotic citizens decided
to create chaos in order to achieve their selfish objectives.

“This is not democracy at all. We should understand that we are the
future. We need to plan our future and should not allow ourselves to be
used as political thugs,” he urged.
