NACOMYO (National Council of Muslim Youth Organizations) Ondo State chapter has felicitated Muslims in Ondo State and the country on the celebration of new Hijrah year of 1442AH.
Alhaji Yekini Alli, Coordinator of NACOMYO in the state in a statement on Friday urged Muslim faithful to be law abiding and peace lovers.
“We shouldn’t forget that COVID-19 is still much active in Nigeria as a whole, so for this reason we must continue to abide by rules and regulations of health authorities as regards the pandemic. This is very important because the earlier it leaves us, the earlier we go back to our normal life.
“Furthermore, in a couple of weeks, the state will be going for the election of her next governor. No stone should be left unturned in maintaining peace and tranquility before, during and after the election.
“We should do away with inflammatory statements that is capable of hitting up the polity. Our children and youths at large should be discouraged from political hooliganism, brigandage and sabotage. All hands must be on deck to sustain our peace, it is in doing this that we can expect prosperity for ourselves as well as for our state.
“To the various security operatives in the country, the council is advising and also charging them to be more proactive and re- double their efforts especially during this election period. Flash points should be identified as quickly as possible with the intention of proper and adequate monitoring. Also, the security forces should try to be as neutral as possible so as not to leave any room for suspicion from any candidate or party that may feel offended or perceive foul play.
“In addition, this council is imploring INEC to be up to the task ahead of them. Organizing a free and fair election is the primary assignment of INEC, and they must not fail in this. Level playing ground should be created for all the contestants and their parties. This is important because it is major key in guarantee peace before, during and after election”.
NACOMYO also appreciated the federal government over its drive at salvaging the nation from unemployment.
“This council gives kudos to the federal government for her concern over the massive unemployment rate among the youths. This has prompted for the flagging of 1000 jobs per local government activities.
“The council is calling on all that will be involved in the selection process to be God-fearing and patriotic. Attention should be given to those youths who are seriously in need. Spreading the opportunity across board will go a long way in stemming down the unemployment crisis in the country.”
