During their deliberation, members of the chapel appealed to political parties and aspirants vying for various elective positions in the state to maintain peace, shun hate speech and violence but rather engage in issue-based campaigns before, during and after the 2023 general elections, while calling on youths to avoid being used as thugs or instruments of violence in any part of the state during the forthcoming elections.
Congress tasked journalists to adhere strictly to the journalistic ethics and principles in political reportage in the current season, and urged them to professionally perform their duties by being balanced and refusing to be used by politicians in compromising their professional services to the people.
