Sule Lamido Critiques Political Leaders' Neglect of Youth

Sule Lamido, the former governor of Jigawa State, expressed his concerns regarding the neglect of Nigerian youths by political leaders during a speech in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital. He stated that politicians have increasingly used youths as political laborers, exposing them to negative political activities characterized by thuggery and disrespect.

Lamido lamented the lack of mentorship and proper character formation for the younger generation, questioning why current leaders do not provide the same guidance they received in their youth. He emphasized the importance of investing in the intellectual, moral, and leadership development of young Nigerians through education and employment opportunities.

Furthermore, he called on youths from various political parties, including PDP, APC, and ADC, to view each other as allies rather than enemies, highlighting their shared aspirations and challenges.
