2019 Poll: Onitiri cautions youths on violence

Ahead of next weekend’s general elections, the Lagos Central senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sunbo Onitiri has cautioned youths not to be used as weapons for electoral violence.

In a statement issued at the weekend, Onitiri urged them not to sell their votes, but rather vote with their conscience and vote wisely.

“The future and destiny of this country is in their hands. I urge them to shape it well. They should vote for the president that has the competence, capability and vision to rule us well and fight poverty.”

He also charged security agencies not to take side with any candidate in the interest of the nation.

He said: “They should keep to their oath of allegiance and be loyal to our country, Nigeria only. They should not intimidate or harass voters during the elections. Nigeria belongs to us all. We have no other country we can call our own.”
