THE Deputy Volta Regional Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Siki Abibu, has advised the youth of the party to exercise restraint by channelling their grievances and problems through the appropriate quarters for redress.
He said although they might have a legitimate case, the use of a wrong channel could go contrary to the tenets of the rule of law and they might be perceived as taking the law into their own hands.
Mr Siki, who was speaking to the Daily Graphic in connection with some recent uprising by some NDC youth, condemned some of the executives who involved themselves in such agitation, saying it was unwarranted and showed that the executives had failed to exercise their responsibilities as leaders who were expected to advise the youth to behave well.
He expressed regret over the Yendi situation where it was alleged that some constituency executives joined the youth to chase out the municipal chief executive out of office and said it was discouraging and embarrassing.
He said the agitation by the youth of the party, purportedly backed by some national executives, was worrying because the party executives should know where to channel their grievances.
Mr Siki appealed to MCEs and DCEs to give listening ears to the youth, adding that it was quite disheartening to tell the youth in plain language that they were not qualified for jobs.
He said the message would be better relayed by encouraging them to go for skill training, asking whether the youth were not the same people who stormed the Tain Constituency for the ultimate victory in the last elections.
