Group cautions youths over politics of bitterness

_Says attack and counter attacks will not move the state forward_

A leading Pro Democracy Group, Kwara Must Change has cautioned youths and youth groups in the state to jettison politics of personality attacks in their quest for good governance, relevance or even social justice.

The group stated that, promoting quality dialogue on sound political ideals, developmental initiatives and social inclusion is the hallmark of progressive youthfulness, which should be embraced by all and sundry.

In a statement by the convener of Kwara Must Change, Abdulrazaq Hamzat, the group maintained that, youths should lead discuss on policy reforms and developmental governance, not personality attack that doesn't add any value to societal upliftment.

According to Hamzat, everyone has a right to air their opinion, which maybe right or wrong, but the best amongst youths are those, whose opinions are based on substance and geared towards societal progression, with a view to strengthening governance, and providing direction.

Hamzat explained that, youth groups can debate on politics and governance, they can express their agreement or disagreement as loudly as possible, but what they should not do, is liter public space with bitterness, undue personality attacks and counter attacks and most importantly, they should not strive in distorting facts just to suit their agenda, because doing that will hurt the society, especially the youths constituency more than it would advance it.

Kwara Must Change therefore urge youths and youth groups in the state to focus on leading government to development, through active, but factual engagement, not distract it with undue personalization of politics and governance.

Useless group
