“To achieve violence-free elections, we are calling on our fellow youths that they must re-think their perceptions.
“Shun anti-social and negative behaviors capable of tarnishing their image as future leaders of tomorrow,” he said.
Modibbo cautioned political parties against divisive campaigns, adding that the campaigns should be based on issues affecting the country, not personalities or religion.
He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for remaining steadfast and ensuring that the electoral process remains on course.
Awards were presented to some personalities who contributed immensely to the development of the youth in the country.
