Most of these politicians never taught they were being elected there to work on behalf of their people in their constituency. They always think it is an avenue to make money. If the youths of this Country can brazen up, they will bring back the kind of democracy they have been looking for for a very long time instead of letting these old fools use them for political selfish ambition but it is necessary to make that move first.
The youths must inform their representatives the kind of governance they want, that is how it should be. I don’t blame these youths for punishing this representative for his irresponsible towards his constituency. Part of corruption is when you are receiving salary for the job you did not do and this must stop if we must move forward as a nation.
As I have been saying all along, our youths have significant role to play in reshaping of our Country. Let all other youths from various states gather themselves together and stand for your right. You need to stop letting these people use you for thuggery, kidnapping, assassination and give you a peanut where as if you get back your Country back from them, all you think is not enough will be surplus for everybody to share and this may be the beginning to the changes we all have been expecting.
