The Chairman of NYCN in Bayelsa State, Mr Taribo Spiff, while speaking with journalists at Epie lll Polling unit, at Amarata Primary School, during the rescheduled presidential and National Assembly elections in the state, urged the youths to continue to be peaceful while the exercise is going on.
He commended the peaceful nature of the youths during the elections, despite the fact that there were no polling materials were not available in some places, a situation that split the election into Sunday, adding that the youths have a better prospect for the country.
He said: “Our youths are wonderful, in fact, they amazed me when they say our youths do not have prospects, I say it’s a lie, you can see not even one person is dragging with the other, every person is on the cue waiting to vote their preferred candidates, and I’m impressed with all of them.
“Election is very successful, what I’m seeing now is very fantastic and wonderful, we have never got it this right, in the time past, if you come to this polling unit, you will understand what I’m saying, today, I took it upon myself that after church service, I will begin to go round and see how our youths are conducting themselves, you can see everywhere is orderly.
“Our expectation is that the right candidate should win, and he should come to make a better Nigeria, I am not partisan as a youth council chairman, as somebody representing youths from all political parties, my prayer is that the right candidate should win and when he comes in, he should realise that Nigerians have voted him in and he should not fail Nigerians.
“Bayelsa youths should continue to remain peaceful, they should not allow any politician to use them, I want to believe those politicians have children, if their children cannot be used, our youths from other mothers should not be used”, he said.
