Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke, has called on the youths in the south East region, to put an end to all forms of violence as peace is the option that can keep the region.
Speaking at an event in Owerri, Imo State, on Saturday, October 24, Ikye said that the explosives being thrown in the region were affecting the economy of the zone.
He suggested that instead of vi*lence, government and the aggrieved people should seek dialogue as way to settling their differences. He urged the youths to amplify their voices on youths that worry them instead of taking to weapons.
He said the Igbo as the most disenfranchised in Nigeria and advised that the Igbo leaders should work in the direction of correcting the bad governance in the region.
According to him, “Nobody condones bad thing. Discussion is still the way forward. We can amplify our voices in so many ways instead of killing ourselves. Don’t forget this destruction is not outside of Igboland it is inside our land. We are killing ourselves by ourselves. A house fighting itself in the same house will only collapse.”
