Ahead of the 2019 general elections, the Emir of Kano, Dr. Muhammad Sanusi, yesterday, called on all concerned to ensure political leaders sign peace pacts against use of youth for violence during the polls to help the nation’s democracy to mature. Sanusi spoke in Katsina while delivering an address, entitled: “Youth, Security and National Development in Nigeria” an annual lecture organised by the Katsina Vocational Training Centre and late M. D. Yusuf Research and Documentation Centre to commemorate the International Youth Day in the state. He said: “We call on all those concerned, as a matter of urgency, to encourage political leaders to sign peace pacts before the 2019 general elections that would ensure peaceful elections and discourage the use of youth to perpetrate violence. This would help our democracy to mature.

The youths are more satisfied with collecting 5k for political thuggery.
