Sule Lamido Urges Better Mentorship for Nigerian Youth

Alhaji Sule Lamido, the former Governor of Jigawa State and a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), expressed his concerns regarding the exploitation of Nigerian youths by politicians during a meeting in Dutse, Jigawa State. He emphasized that political leaders have failed to provide adequate mentorship and character formation for the younger generation, questioning why they do not offer the same guidance they received in their youth.

Lamido highlighted the troubling trend of youths being used as political machinery, often engaging in activities marked by thuggery and division rather than constructive political engagement. He called on youths from various political parties, including PDP, APC, and ADC, to recognize their shared aspirations and challenges, urging them to avoid viewing each other as enemies.

Furthermore, he stressed the importance of investing in the intellectual and moral development of young Nigerians through education and mentorship, asserting that the future of Nigeria depends on how well the youth are prepared for leadership roles.
