ABUJA — The Primate of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Most Rev. Henry Ndukuba, on Tuesday urged Nigerian youths not to serve as political thugs ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He also urged Christians to take an active part in politics, saying credible elections would depend on internal democracy within political parties and the commitment of electoral authorities, security agencies and citizens to protecting the integrity of the process.
Ndukuba spoke at the opening of the 15th Anglican Chancellors, Registrars and Legal Officers Conference (ACRLOC) in Abuja.
Warning young Nigerians, Ndukuba said: “I want to encourage our young people never serve as a thug for any politician because none of those politicians… what they will not send their own children to do, they are sending our young people to do. They give them money for drugs… We want our young people to shun every thuggery and every act of violence.”
