Forum cautions Kwara politicians against inciting violence

Kwara Youth Stakeholders Forum (KYSF) has cautioned politicians in the state against inciting the youth into engaging in violence.
It instead urged them to commence the process of political empowerment that would place them in better positions to be good future leaders.
National president of the forum, Prince Charles Olufemi Folayan, in a press statement after the after the inauguration of the 16 local government coordinators yesterday in Ilorin, said it was saddening that “most politicians don’t see the youths as tools to develop the state and prepare them for better future instead used them as agents of destruction for their selfish interest.”
He warned that Kwara youths should never again be used, duped and dumped by selfish politicians whose children never moved close to such assignments.
He said: “Our political environment and challenges in the state precipitated the need to deliberately commence the process of building capacity of the critical mass of youth through information, re-orientation and awareness, and also give them the chance to learn, unlearn and relearn on political issues, governance and policies through interactions and advocacy.
“We must also learn from youths in other developed state and countries who are contributing to the economy, technology and social development of their state.”
