The National Coordinator of the youth group under the aegis of Ikwuano Umuahia PDP Youth Forum, Emmanuel Dikeogu Nwoko, said that the PDP government in Abia State has done very well and deserves giving another chance to rule in 2019, warning that any Youth who allowed himself to be used to create confusion in the state would have himself to be blamed.

The national coordinator said that the youths in the state should have learnt their lesson from past experience, where politicians used and dumped them.

He said that the desperate politicians would only engage the youths during electioneering only to drop them soon after they emerge.

Nwoko maintained that  as concerned citizens the group is to hold an awareness rally aimed at sensitizing youths in the state on the dangers associated and engaging on electoral violence.

“It is aimed at sensitizing the youths from being deceived  by those who are  based abroad  who rarely visit home nor have any investment in the state that would benefit the youths.
