*OFFICE OF THE STATE CHAIRMAN, NATIONAL YOUTH COUNCIL OF NIGERIA CROSS RIVER STATE*
*Ref: NYCN CONDEMN THE UNFORTUNATE KILLING OF YOUTHS OVER POLITICAL POWER TUSSLE IN NORTHERN CROSS RIVER STATE*
Following the unfortunate and heartbreaking incident that took place in the Northern Senatorial District of the state, wherein at least, two ebullient and promising youths lost their budding lives and others sustained various degrees of gunshot inflicted injuries, the National Youth Council of Nigeria hereby condemn in totality the unwarranted, unprovoked, unspeakable and animalistic killing of our youths during the PDP Primaries election in Ogoja. We are terribly pained by this gruesome lost.
We wish to reiterate the words of Former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan that *NO POLITICAL AMBITION IS WORTH THE BLOOD OF ANY CROSS RIVERIAN*. We hereby call on security agencies, Human Right Crusaders, and all relevant authorities to investigate and prosecute the perpetrators of this heinous crime.
We wish to also caution the youths against allowing themselves to be used as thugs and touts by Politicians as such is not only inimical but deleterious to their life and that of their loved one. Aware that oftentimes, the deceased leave behind aged parents, young wives and children, we hereby call on all youths to henceforth desist from all political involvement that can lead to bickering, infighting and death.
We sorrowfully convey our deepest condolence to the families of the deceased even as we pray for the peaceful repose of the souls of the departed and the quick recuperation of the wounded ones. At this moment of grief, we stand in Solidarity with the bereaved as Injury to one Is Injury to All.
Build the Youth!
Build the Nation!

Amb. Umezulike Desmond-Cruz
