Miss Temilade Gideon, a youth from the Gwagwalada District of the church called on Nigerians, particularly the leaders to ensure all forms of differences that could stand as hindrances to the success of the election.
”We need to pray to God to guide us as we move towards the 2023 general elections.
”The youth want progress for this country. We are calling on Nigerians particularly our leaders to ensure we have a free and fair election.
”We are also praying along this line to make sure our dreams come true,” Gideon said.
Also, Israel Pius, CAC Karu District, called on the National Orientation Agency (NOA) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure adequate voter education before the 2023 elections.
“We are optimistic that with adequate sentisation from NOA, our youth would shun any forms of violence.
”We are eager to see a Nigeria that is working. A Nigeria where other African countries will like to learn from,” Pius said.
