Furthermore, the former head of state advised youths not to allow themselves to be used by politicians to cause violence and disharmony.
He said, “As we go into politics, caution Nigerians and politicians, please wisely play the game. Avoid using our children and grandchildren as propaganda and abusing them and trying to make them do what we know is wrong.
“And for the youths, please avoid being used as thugs and arbitrators of disharmony and violence in the country.’
Abdulsalami described the security challenges the country is faced with as a war without morality where people are killed without reasons.
“We are facing a hard time security-wise where the war front is everywhere and this is a war without any morality where the old and the young are slaughtered without any cause.
“Our security forces are overstretched so it is left to all of us to join hands in making sure we provide information where possible so that this situation will be addressed,” the former Head of State said.
