Sokoto State Governor Aliyu Wamakko yesterday urged the youths to shun violence.

“For us to succeed we must work hard to enable our candidate win all elective offices positions and to shun all kind of violence to enable INEC conduct peaceful election.

“Nigerians should shun all kinds of political violence and enhance  tolerance and understanding as the primary aim was to ensure peaceful conduct of April polls.”
