ICD calls for peace ahead Edo guber poll

Country Representative of the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (ICD),  Mr. Dickson Omoregie, has urged caution among political parties in the forth-coming Edo gubernatorial election.

He urged contestants and their supporters to make accomplishable campaign promises as well as see Edo state as a collective project rather than personal or family affair.

Speaking to newsmen, on Thursday, Omoregie  said that, Edo State which is known for its cultural values has to get it right and set standard for other states to emulate.

He also called on the youth not to indulge in acts of violence during and after the election as the time to leave their feet in the sands of time as youth is now and promised  that Edo will benefit from the scholarship opportunity to Nigerian youth by the Berlin- based Institute for Cultural Diplomacy, which is in partnership with the Office of the Special Assistant to the President on Youth and Students matters as well as the Federal Ministry of Youth Development to study and work in Berlin, Germany.
