Speaker of the House of Representatives and governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Sokoto State, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal has called on politicians in the country to immediately put a stop to the current scale of violence they have introduced into electioneering campaigns.
Speaking at an interactive session with the leadership of students of all tertiary institutions in the State on Monday, Tambuwal condemned the culture of violence that has become the tradition in higher institutions, saying ”I don’t believe in violence and those who are into it should reconsider their steps.
“What you should do as politicians is to convince people on what you intend to do for them. Tell them why you should be elected. You must not lead unscrupulous people to unleash mayhem on people you perceive as not your supporters,” he said.
The governorship candidate stressed further that it is only when politicians imbibed the culture of electioneering that is devoid of violence, that the youths would learn how to undertake issue-based politicking.
He called on the people of Sokoto State to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) since, “Obtaining PVCs is the only way by which you can elect the candidates of your choice”.
The House of Reps Speaker demanded government at all levels to invest in the youths so that the country would have vibrant future, stressing that, “We must invest in the youths for a better tomorrow because they represent today and the future”.
