2023: Don’t Be Used by Unscrupulous Politicians, Clerk Tells Youths

 


As 2023 general elections is gathering momentum, the Clerk to the National Assembly, Mr. Amos Olatunde Ojo, has urged Nigerian youths not to allow themselves to be used as cannon folder for unscrupulous politicians. Ojo who spoke during the commemoration of Commonwealth Day in Abuja yesterday, lamented that Nigeria is fast losing her youth to obsession with wealth and fortune which has plunged them into diabolical rituals.


While urging parents, religious leaders, schools and the mass media to go back to the basics and courageously identify where the country missed its way into the jungle of barbarism that now violently threatens the future of the youths, he warned that if the menace is not curbed immediately, the next generation of Nigerians would be doomed.
