On Tuesday,
Sept 30, Tuface Idibia launched his foundation's anti-electoral violence
campaign today tagged “Vote Not Fight” and “Election no be War” Campaign, as
part of his efforts toward lending his voice to issues of voter awareness.
Tuface
Idibia said that the campaign was born “out of love and the desire to have one
Nigeria, a Nigeria of our dream.” He observed that “most of the time the youth
are the people used for violence and the only time dey no dey use the youth na
wen dey wan chop the money, but for every other destructive aspects it’s the
youth that they use.”
“This
whole idea is to sensitize the youths and get them involved,” he said.
The
highlight of the launch was the official debut of the "VOTE NOT
FIGHT" campaign pledge by the music icon himself as well as Mrs. Yemisi
Ransome Kuti and Yemi Adamolekun of the Enough is Enough Nigeria.
Other
speakers at the event included Efe Omorogbe, and Kingsley.
The
voter education campaign is aimed at promoting peaceful participation by
Nigerian youth in the 2015 elections. The campaign seeks to encourage youth to
make a commitment to shun violence and embrace peace.
