Amb. Chijioke Ihunwo, the Chairman of National Youth Council of Nigeria, Rivers State Chapter and South-South zone, condemn in it’s totality, the barbaric and iniquitous attack on security officers along Omagwa/Isiokpo/Elele Owerri road in Ikwerre local government area of Rivers State.
Some individuals who don’t mean well for Rivers State, attacked security officers along Omagwa/Isiokpo/Elele Owerri road, for reason best known to them.
The Youth Council Chairman term the attack as a sign of weakness on the part of these individuals that ordinarily are suppose to engage themselves in productive activities geared towards self enhancement instead of carrying out an act that will portray the youths of the State in a bad light.
Amb. Chijioke wondered why these individuals, having failed to stop the government of the day from carrying out developmental strides, have now resorted to making attempts on the life’s of security officers and it’s formations.
The Council Chairman caution those who don’t mean well for Rivers State and their allies to note that there is a limit to what the youths of Rivers State, who have made up their mind to be good ambassadors of the State can stomach, particularly at this critical time.
The Chairman says that this attack on security officers has further united the youths of Rivers State to give their total support to the government of the day, in her readiness to chase away those individuals who are not ready to maintain peaceful coexistence.
The Chairman warn those who doesn’t mean well for the State, to look elsewhere to carryout there callous attack as Rivers State can no longer be a safe place for any individual or group of individuals with criminal tendencies.
The Chairman of the apex youth body states that resorting to attack cannot help any individual to achieve anything positive from the State. Gone are those days when violence, criminality pay anybody, instead peaceful approach, education, human capital development is the best way in which the National Youth Council of Nigeria, has advocated that our youths should embrace in order to achieve their positive goals in life.
The Chairman therefore charge the security agencies not to be deterred in their duty of protecting life and properties. He also call on youth leaders in Rivers State, to be on red alert and monitor their communities for any suspicious gathering and report to security agencies for immediate action.
