Pat Utomi Urges Youths to Reject Political Thuggery

Pat Utomi, a professor of political economy, issued a warning to young Nigerians on his 𝕏 handle, advising them not to allow themselves to be exploited as political thugs by corrupt politicians. He expressed concern that these politicians provide only minimal rewards while profiting from the disorder they create in communities.

Utomi challenged the thugs to consider whether their parents would be proud of their actions and to reflect on whether they want to continue such work into their fifties. He emphasized the importance of not becoming instruments of destruction in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections, urging youths to recognize their worth and potential for a better future.
