Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly and Chairman, Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has called on Nigerians, particularly the youths to stay away from violence and acts and utterances capable of causing a breach of peace, particularly as the general election was around the corner.
Obasa spoke on Sunday, during the flag off of the campaign for the general election organised by the Agege Federal Constituency chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“I want to advise Nigerians particularly youths, to stay away from violence. We should do away from any act and utterances that can lead to violence and cause any breach of peace,” he said.
The Lagos Assembly Speaker stated that there was no gain in thuggery and violence, saying the country would only flourish, grow and develop in atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
“When there is peace and tranquility, the country will grow and develop. The development and growth of this country is a collective effort between the government and the governed. Without peace, we can’t develop, neither can we grow,” he said.
