Nigerian Youths have again been urged to eschew violence and embrace peace and harmony as their guiding principles and their watchwords particularly before, during and after the 2023 general elections.

Alhaji Baraje noted that it is only in a condusive atmosphere and under a peaceful environment that development can be achieved.
He cautioned the PDP members that they should not be provoked under any quise but rather sensitise themselves and others willing to join the party on benefits and dividends of democracy under a PDP administration.
The PDP Chieftain commended party faithfuls particularly the youths, women and the elderly in Baboko ward for remaining steadfast and resolute for their support for the immediate past Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki and assured them of the party’s leader’s commitment and love for them at all times.
