He further urged them to be peace advocates and shun to be used to destabilize the system especially now that Governor Willie Obiano is stepping on the strong foundation  laid by former Governor, Chief Peter Obi.
Obidigwe maintained that youth empowerment is dear to the new administration of Governor Obiano in other to continue from where Chief Obi stopped adding that what he needed to excel for the benefits of the youths is the peace initiatives of the youths and not war and violence posture.
