“That YOWICAN shall continue to collaborate and work in concert with brothers from the Muslim faith to pursue the desired peace, unity and progress of the nation; and more particularly under the auspices of the Nigeria Inter-religious Council (NIREC).
“That YOWICAN remains the only umbrella organization of Christian youths and church based youth organizations in Nigeria, as such YOWICAN should be accorded the requisite recognition and support by the Federal Ministry of Youths & Sports and all other MDA’s, NGO’s and corporate organizations.”
The communique however said the National umbrella of Christian Youth in Nigeria decries the increasing rate of insecurity in Nigeria, yet commends the efforts of government and security agencies in combating the nefarious activities of bandits, killer herdsmen, insurgents and many others
The communique which on it is the signature of the National Chairman and Secretary, Mr Belusochukwu Enwere, Bako Adashu Elijah said despite the efforts so far made in combating crime, YOWICAN observes the urgent need to curb the rising wave of attacks, killings, destruction of lives, properties, farmlands and livelihood of innocent citizens within the Northern states, specifically within Christian communities in Southern Kaduna.
“YOWICAN in the performance of Christian tenets and faith believes strongly in peaceful coexistence, but this piety should not be construed as cowardice, therefore kidnappers, bandits, killer herdsmen, terrorists and unknown gun men should not push Christian youths to the extreme, such as to make them consider deploying self defense strategies as the last option.
“YOWICAN asserts that rotation of the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria will promote unity and concord, asuch the emergence of a Christian and youthful President come 2023 will be a true expression of equity, fairness and justice for Nigeria and Nigerians.
