He called for leaders who understand the complexities of the security challenges and are willing to implement effective strategies to address them. This message underscored the urgency of electing leaders who prioritize the safety and well-being of the people above political expediency or personal gain. The youths, echoing Bagos’ sentiments, declared their unwavering commitment to supporting leaders who prioritize security and demonstrate a genuine commitment to protecting the lives and livelihoods of the people of Plateau State.
The Chairman of the Plateau Youth Council, Diplomat Panam Gongden, echoed Bagos’ call for accountability, warning politicians against taking the youth for granted. Gongden’s message was clear: the youth will no longer tolerate being marginalized or ignored. They will actively engage in the political process and demand that their voices be heard.
