 As part of efforts to commemorate this year's International World Peace Day, civil society and people living with disabilities have joined their counterparts across the globe to advocate peace for coexistence towards nation-building, for sustainable and harmonious relationships among all races, irrespective of religious and cultural backgrounds. Habila De Raffailles' report is presented from our studios. Every 21st of September is set aside to celebrate World International Peace Day, to promote peaceful coexistence and tolerance to humans. This year's theme is and racism, built peace. Speaking of the peace-working caduna, the founder of Lagasi Foundation Kautumi Abdulaziz says peace is the bedrock for nation-building, growth and development for any nation. Saying inclusion of all strata of the society in the governance process of the country, with particular focus on women, youth and people living with disabilities, can all change the trajectory of this country without resulting to violence, which can be done through the power of votes. She called on all unsondering to play a critical role in peace, before, during and after the 2023 general elections, urging Angerians not to mudgage their future, but allowing politicians to influence them, with Moodu uprise, sachet of salt, maggi, or 509. Come 2023, we the people and the youth of the federal republic of Nigeria will make very bold statements that cannot be influenced. We will not mudgage our future again. As Nigerian youth, we are filled to all not to allow themselves to be you. We must ensure division and build peace across the lands of the country. Also, the program officer of the foundation, Emmanuel Lawrence, says there is the need for politicians to drive issue-based campaigns rather than throwing tantrums. To engage very meaningfully, making bold statements, but we want to do this very peacefully, in the sense that we will not succumb to all of the antics of our politicians anymore. This is 2023 coming. Our future matters a lot to us. The future of Nigerian youth matters a lot. We will not succumb to violence. We will do the needful through the power of our votes. It is very important to us as individuals of Kaduna citizens, as youth, and also as any peace-loving person in Kaduna and Nigeria as a whole. Today, the world is marking an international day for peace, and it's a day that has been celebrated worldwide, so it can be left out. Of course, as youth, one of our common needs is to participate in issues like this. The president of People Living with Disabilities, Breedwan Lowell, says government must engage religious leaders, traditional rulers, people living with disabilities, and youth in promoting peace-building in the country, while advocating for 15 percent inclusion of people living with disabilities governance. Have a social contract with the politicians on issue of getting a percentage. Like you see, our modern women have been agitating for 35 percent affirmative action. I keep on asking the contestant or the candidate, what percentage do you remark for persons with disabilities in terms of political appointment? These are the issues. So I think any contestant or candidate that comes to persons with disabilities will have to go on social contract with such a candidate. They appeal to Nigerians not to allow themselves to be used as vehicles or tools of division and destruction, but to promote peace and justice. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
