Popular musician, Adewale Ayuba, on Friday, advised Nigerian youth to avoid being used as political thugs in the forthcoming 2019 general elections.
Ayuba gave the advice while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos.
According to him, the youth have been vulnerable to such activities over the years due to the economic state of the nation.
He said that youths should think more of being responsible citizens and embrace available skills capable of rendering them self-reliant, rather than wait to be hired by politicians to perpetrate atrocities during elections.
The Fuji musician said that youths who engage in such derogatory act demean themselves, forgetting that they could be governors, senators or hold such offices in future.
“When we engage in election manipulation, aside from the fact that we tarnish our integrity, it is a sin against the country and Almighty God.
“We should all remember that we can also aspire to hold such positions, rather than being political thugs and instruments of confusion.
“We must all guard our integrity and be responsible citizens so as to have a sane and peaceful election,” he said.
