Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has warned South East youths not to allow themselves to be used as agents of distraction, but to realize that they are future leaders of the country.
The warning came on the heels of a threat by the Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL) to dump wastes at the Anambra Government House to drive home their displeasure over comments by the governor concerning the aspiration of the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi.
Reacting through his Press Secretary, Mr. Christian Aburime, the governor advised the youths to rethink so as not to constitute themselves into being part of the problem to be solved in the society, but to be part of the solution.
Soludo wondered why the youths should allow themselves to be used as tools by some politicians or individuals who, according to him, have no good plans for them.
To him, the politicians’ aims are just to use the youths to achieve their mischievous objectives and dump them thereafter.
“Instead of threatening to come and dump refuse at the Government House, the youths should rally round and support the government of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, because his administration is working for the betterment of their lives, to see that both the youths of this present generation and the generation to come will have something that can make life more meaningful for them,” he said.
