The National Youth Solidarity for Good Governance, on Thursday, urged youths to shun thuggery and violence in the forthcoming Anambra Governorship Election.
It would be recalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had scheduled the Anambra Governorship Election for Saturday, November 8, 2025.
The Coordinator of the group, Dr Ejikeme Odumegwu, gave the advise while addressing newsmen in Enugu on the group’s expectations from forthright youths in Anambra State.
“My advice to the youths of Anambra State in this crucial election is to shun any act of criminality to wit: thuggery, violence and assault.
“Youths should refrain from any act of killing of anyone all in the name of election,” he said.
Odumegwu, who is also the Owelle of Nsukka, urged them to reflect deeply on these vices and immediate consequences of the negativity of all these wanton actions on them each time after any election.

According to him, the thugs and killers are left in a reckless abandon at the end of the day. Youths should learn and be wise.
Odumegwu also called on the electorate to vote according to their conscience and conviction.
He warned that they should not sell their votes, “only to blame the government thereafter”.
“We should also know that the alleged failure of the Judiciary in Nigeria can not in any way subdue the rule of conscience and consciousness,” he said.
The statesmen said that if the incumbent Gov. Chukwuma Soludo had performed reasonably enough, there would not be much ado about the election.
“But if not, Anambra people have the potential to recall him back and put another,” he added.
