The new Executive Director Operations of Prestige FM Minna, Alhaji Mustapha Nasiru Batsari has urged Nigerian youths to desist from being use as political thugs, avoid drug abuse and not to be involved in any kind of social vices to be better future leaders

He gave the advise in an interview with our reporter in Minna, saying that as future leaders they should resist any attempts to take advantage of their vibrancy for negative political gains.

Mustapha Nasiru Batsari tasked on the youths in the country to acquire skill acquisition schemes to be self reliant,  employed and economically stable.

The executive director further urged politicians to engage in politics of ideas, embark on violence free campaign rather than recruiting political thugs who will be used to violate electoral laws on behalf of their sponsors to win elections.

He said this has became necessary following the kick-off of the political activities in Niger state and Nigeria at large, adding that such act of violence does not speak well of Nigerian’s democracy in the contemporary society.

According to Batsari, electoral violence has led to lost of lives and properties in the past hence the youths need for some kind of sensitization, advocacy and awareness training on how to go about their activities before, during, and after elections so as to have a reversal attitudes during polls.
