Nigerian Ambassador to the Benin Republic, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai (rtd), says despite myriads of challenges, President Muhammadu Buhari has laid a foundation for a new Nigeria.
The former Chief of Army Chief Staff (COAS), made this assertion in a message posted on his verified Facebook page.
The post addressed to Nigerian youths was titled: “Dynamism in Politics and Nigeria’s Founding Fathers.”
According to him, the newly approved Electoral Bill will improve the transparency and acceptability of the country’s future elections and promote democratic governance
He insisted that Buhari has kept faith in his vision and principles, so the youths must carry these visions and principles beyond this administration.
He advised Nigerian youths not to let themselves be used as willing tools by do-or-die politicians who want to stir up trouble in their communities.
Buratai said: “President Muhammadu Buhari has laid a foundation for a new Nigeria. Despite the myriad of challenges, he has kept faith in his vision and principles. The youths must carry these visions and principles beyond this administration.
“The legacies must be protected for a greater Nigeria and formidable future generations. My message to young people today is that they must not let themselves be used as willing tools by do-or-die politicians who want to stir up trouble in their communities.
“Instead, you must embrace the tenets of political dynamism and root out every factor that contributes to the democracy deficit in Nigeria, namely voter apathy, ballot snatching, looting, arson, and the likes.”
