Young Nigerians seeking political office should first focus on building credible careers, acquiring skills and establishing personal integrity before venturing into politics, former Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Johnson Olawumi Maj.-Gen (retd), has advised.
Speaking at a youth engagement and campaign rally in Osogbo, Osun State, on Wednesday, Olawumi warned that politics without a solid professional foundation often leaves individuals vulnerable to manipulation, financial dependence and loss of relevance after leaving public office.
