The National Executive Council of the 407 Nigeria Ethnic Nationalities Youth Leaders Council (NENYLC) has cautioned presidential candidates of political parties and other politicians against hate speech, ahead of the 2023 election campaigns.
President General, NENYLC, Mr Terry Obieh, made the plea on Wednesday in Abuja, where he urged candidates for 2023 polls to engage in constructive debates on their plans for Nigerians and not name calling, hate speech or rumour mongering.
