A Kogi State former Governorship Aspirant and a Women Leader, Princess Grace Iye Adejoh has called on Iran , the, 

US and Israel to embrace dialogue and stop the mass destructions going on in the Middle East saying the war is getting to frightening dimensions.

Princess Grace Adejoh in a press statement made available to newsmen in Lokoja, said the current hostilities have caused colossal destructions of economic and social infrastructures and great calamities to citizens especially women , children resulting to countless deaths and permanent disabilities and must therefore be stopped.

While appealing to the new Iranian Supreme Leader , Mojtaba Khomeini to embrace dialogue for the purpose of his suffering citizens, the women leader also called on Israel and US to refrain from carrying out further destructions and appeal to President Donald Trump, to reflect carefully on the consequences of decisions that could escalate global tensions saying preserving peace should be a conscious choice.

The statement reads in part :
“The teeth and the tongue often clash. Sometimes the teeth bite the tongue when it gets in the way, yet both remain in the same mouth until death.” These words from my mother have stayed with me for years. They remind me that disagreement is natural, but coexistence is essential — a lesson the world urgently needs today.

“In our time, global tensions are rising across nations, and conflicts threaten to deepen divisions along religious, political, and cultural lines. If left unchecked, these divisions could escalate into crises far beyond our control. Leadership and citizen responsibility are more important than ever if we are to prevent small disputes from spiraling into larger conflicts.

“Our generation is fortunate in one profound way: unlike those who lived through the great global wars of the last century, we have not experienced the horrors of a world war. That privilege should not be taken for granted. Preserving peace must be a conscious choice — one we make in our communities, in our conversations, and in the positions we take publicly and privately.

” Peace begins not only in diplomatic halls but also in our daily interactions. Every citizen has the power to shape the environment around them. The words we speak behind closed doors, the messages we post on social media, and the teachings we deliver in our churches, mosques, and other places of worship all matter. Words can ignite conflict or build bridges — the choice is ours.

” I appeal to nations currently engaged in conflict to reconsider the path of violence. Dialogue may be difficult, but it is far more constructive than hostility. Where trust has been damaged, sincere efforts must be made to rebuild it. Where suspicion and doubt exist, patience and diplomacy must take its place. After all, humanity shares far more than it divides. We all bleed the same blood, and we all live on the same fragile planet.

” I also respectfully encourage leaders around the world, including Donald Trump, to reflect carefully on the consequences of decisions that could escalate global tensions. Leadership carries immense influence, and with that influence comes the responsibility to pursue solutions that preserve peace for both present and future generations.

“It is widely known that he has shown strong support for Israel. Loyalty to allies is an important part of international relations and deserves recognition. Yet true leadership also requires exploring less dangerous paths that protect allies while maintaining global stability. Strength does not always mean confrontation; sometimes it lies in restraint and foresight.

“History shows that humanity often learns its deepest lessons through hardship. Each generation must accept responsibility for the choices it makes today, knowing those choices will shape the world inherited by the next. Our actions, our words, and our leadership matter — not just for ourselves, but for generations
