The 2019 general elections is fast approaching and Nigerian music star, 2Baba has adviced citizens not to vote in and stop celebrating political theives.
The singer who is topping the charts with his raving song, “Amaka” spoke to Vanguard he said it was unwise for the youths to be celebrating criminally-minded politicians who were only out to loot public funds.
He continued and said Nigerians should be wise because some of the politicians were out to deceive them again.
My advice to the youths is that we should begin to celebrate what is right. We should stop celebrating criminals; we should stop hyping people that have done nothing to benefit us.
“Imagine, someone wakes one morning and suddenly becomes a Senator with a lot of money; people will begin to celebrate him/her even when he has done nothing for his people.
“When you campaign for votes and you finally win, you’ve to have something to show for those votes. So, we need to begin to celebrate people who are genuine and not criminals”, the legendary musician said.
“I hope so, because that would depend on the electorate. I’m hoping that Nigerians will understand that politicians should not use them again; I’m hoping that they would understand that these people will tell their usual stories, but we also should tell our own story this time around”, he said.
“My advice is that they should speak to the people more, they should let us know what’s happening. When people don’t know what’s happening they tend to talk, they tend to argue.
“When we hear something in the news tomorrow we don’t even know if it’s the truth or a lie because the government doesn’t even talk to us; we don’t even know what’s going on.
“And that is a major issue; they should let the people know what’s going on, so, that the people can participate and be actively involved in the governance of the nation. The government should carry the people along”, he advised.

In addition to that; for the fact that we can’t talk or know what is happening there, doesn’t mean God is not watching. My only advice I have for the Youths is that we should be wise.
