Bayelsa
State Governor, Seriake Dickson, yesterday said over 11, 000 youths
from the eight local government areas of the state have denounced
cultism.
He said the willingness and acceptability of the reformed cultists to
have a change of attitude was a product of government’s restoration
agenda centered on the youths.
The governor spoke yesterday in Yenagoa during an interactive session
with representatives of youth groups in the state, warning youths who
indulge in criminal activities to desist from such.
According to him, no state or nation strives in an atmosphere of violence.
While noting that the state was gradually becoming a centre of
attraction, Governor Dickson said government would not tolerate any
incident that would breach the existing peace in the state.
He said a youth summit would soon be organised for repentant cultists
in the state, stressing
that such would be the first step towards
reintegrating them back into the society.
Dickson warned the youths against being used by selfish politicians
to foment trouble in the state, noting that the era of politicking was
over.
He said: “Let me warn some of you, it is not yet time for politics
and politicking. We will not tolerate such activities in the system for
now, we want to perform.
