Forum Urges Youths To Uphold National Values

Nigerian youths have been urged to support decisions that promote peaceful coexistence and uphold national values  for the socio-economic development of the country.

The convener Christians and Muslim Youth Leaders Forum (CMYLF) Ekiye Ekiye made the call in an interview with LEADERSHIP in Jos.

He explained that those who believed that opposition must mean antagonism, hatred, or constant confrontation should reconsider their stance.

According to him, constructive criticism is not about creating chaos, it’s about holding those in  power to account  and work towards solutions that benefit the people.

Ekiye also commended the minority leader of the House of Representatives representing Obio Akpor federal constituency Hon. Ogundu Chinda, for exemplifying what it means to lead with wisdom, loyalty, and purpose.

“He is not just a politician, he is a seasoned lawmaker, a man of peace, and a dependable leader whose commitment to national interest remains steadfast.”

Ekiye further argued that the current peace and stability being witnessed in the National Assembly is not a coincident but because of the leaders in the opposition like Hon. Chinda, who understand that crisis is not a path to progress, but peaceful coexistence.

“I firmly believe that nothing is more important than peace. In a time where some seek to divide, disrupt, and discredit, we must stand firm in celebrating and supporting those who strive to build, unite, and lead with integrity,” Ekiye said.
