According to him, they (politicians) would just organize those from the lower class to start harassing other people, saying that if they would not use their children, then they must stop destroying other people’s children.
The Convener believes, “Politics is a game of number, come out and get your own number, it is not a game of violence.”
Also advising the youths, Alhaji Abdullahi Hussaini noted that youths were the most vulnerable, saying that a lot was needed to ensure they were protected.
According to him, the era of using motorcycles for empowerment to hoodwink them into nefarious activities should be over, while calling on politicians to change the narratives for a better future for the country.
