Nigerian youths will determine 2023 elections’ success: Oga Bello
Veteran actor Adebayo Salami, popularly known as ‘Oga Bello’, says Nigerian youths will determine the success of 2023 general elections, advising to shun violence.
In an interview on Wednesday, Oga Bello urged the youths to instead get their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
“I advise that we all comport ourselves as responsible and patriotic citizens of our great nation. The youth should refuse to be brainwashed or manipulated with money but focus on getting their PVCs and vote for their choice candidates at the right time,” he said.
The actor also urged them to desist from being used as political thugs during campaigns.
According to him, the youths have a huge role to play in ensuring free, fair, peaceful and credible elections.
“I like to warn our youths to desist from being used as political thugs, which does not portray them as good citizens,” stated Oga Bello. “This warning is coming now because I believe the youths will determine the success of the elections.”
