A young and popular Cross Riverian who goes by the name Prince Thomas Abi jnr has advised youths to desist from partaking in Election violence during the forth coming electioneering period.
He made this known through a social media post, it reads;.l
"Stay Away From Violence !"
"Exactly one month from today, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other political parties would be carrying out their primaries and many young people are already heating the polity and causing a lot of tantrum".
"My humble advice is, no politician is worth dying for. It is all about political interest. When you fight and cause commotion and create enmity for yourself with others in the society, they would converge like the proverbial Nicodemus and realign forces and negotiate over your heads".
"In recent times, we have heard of political forces and coalition by political parties and politicians. The point I am trying to make her is , it is about SELF and not the general good of the public".
"Politicians weep emotional sentiments and make you feel they are better than their perceived political rival or those in contention with them over a particular office. Do not be deceived young people, it is all about the next election and not about me and you. Only watch the actors while they champion the process. Do not join others in causing rancour and acrimony. It won't pay you any good at all".
"Again, I would so say that there is no point putting so much emotions and energy. Many a time, we have seen that these class of people lack ideology, principle and are amoral and only want power".
"As we get set for the days ahead, my particular interest is on the Cross River young people. We must shun bitterness and blackmails. Politics can be played by only disagreeing and not resulting to violence and chaos".
"Remember, politicians are the same set of people. They sweet talk you and even urge you to carry out nefarious activities that can break law and order and at the end leave in the middle of a crossroad".
"Never again, must we allow ourselves to be used to abuse others and create pandemonium".
"Any politician who wants to arm you with arms and ammunition, charms, weapons, to fight for them, tell them Oga/Madam, please give it to your son or daughter to fight for you or better still, tell them that their children can be the team leader in the thuggery activities".
"If the law enforcement officers get you while carrying out these violent practices for them, they will deny you".
"Stay away from violence !"
This warning is coming in handy as most youths still remain ignorant of the dangers that accompany being part of this process posses.
