Emir Of Katsina Urges Politicians Not To Arm Youths With Weapons And Drugs During 2019 General Elections

The Sarkin Katsina Gusau, Dr Ibrahim Bello, on Sunday urged politicians not to arm youths with dangerous weapons and drugs during the 2019 general elections.

Bello made the call when Sen. Said Dansadau, the governorship candidate of the National Rescue Movement (NRM), paid him a courtesy visit at his palace in Gusau.

According to him, the youths should not be encouraged to handle weapons for destructive purposes, adding that, all what the people want is development.

He said that politics should not be a do-or-die affair and urged the politicians to imbibe the spirit of sportsmanship and still shake hands either they win or lose their games.

“I urge you to play politics like sports, if you win fine, and if you dont win, embrace the other person and shake hands with him.

“There is need for politicians to base thier campaign on issues and not on things that will aggravate crisis.

“Tell the electorate what you can offer and allow them to decide because all the people want is development.”

He then prayed for the peace and progress of the country and sued for peace ahead of the 2019 elections.
