Embrace Unity, Peace For Nigeria’s Survival – Group Urges Youths

The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has appealed to Nigerian youths to ensure unity and love grow among them for the overall interest and future of the country.

The group advised the youths to shun money politics for national development.

Alhaji Nastura Sharif, Chairman of the group, made the call during the Maitama Sule Leadership Lecture Series held at Bayero University, Kano, on the theme, ‘Role of the Youth in Shaping the Future of Northern Nigeria’, organized by the students’ wing of the coalition.

He explained that there was the need to educate the youths on the substance of politics for future leaders to learn how to tackle the challenges bedeviling the country.

He noted that this is the 18th lecture in the series and the aim behind it is to give the youths a chance to learn how to confront challenges politically.

According to Prof. Abubakar, there is the need to inculcate new and responsible ideas in the youth to bring about a change in leadership focus devoid of selfishness and corruption.

“The money politics system is terrible and that is why we are here. We are playing wrong, dirty and unproductive politics,” he lamented.

He noted that the youth as tomorrow’s leaders should be aware of this because they are victims of bad leadership at all levels, saying that they want better leadership for themselves and the coming generations.

Prof. Abubakar explained that every one of them should realize this because they are on the wrong path, and have to chart a new course for a better Nigeria.

The National Coordinator of the students’ wing of the CNG, Jamilu Aliyu, stressed the need for integrity and avoidance of money politics, saying that it was the reason why they tagged the lecture series with the name of Maitama Sule, who is believed to be a man of integrity and honesty.

He explained that they are trying to eradicate the leadership of moneybags by avoiding money politics at this level. He added that it has become necessary, as people are already feeling the wrath of rotten leadership.
