The Rector of The Polytechnic, Iresi, Osun State, Azeez Adewoyin, has warned youths and students in the state to resist being used as tools for political violence and destabilisation of the state.

Adewoyin gave the warning at an event organised to commemorate International Day of Youth in Diplomacy held on the campus of the polytechnic in Iresi.

In a statement signed by Akeem Ajao, the Head of Mass Communication Department and Strategic Studies of the polytechnic obtained in Osogbo on Tuesday, Adewoyin urged youths in the state to work hard for a promising future and shun acts that may destroy their potentials.

“My advice for the youth in this political period is for them to be conscious of their future. They should not allow any politician to use them for inordinate ambition.

“If any politicians call them for inordinate ambition, they should ask for the children of those politicians. Many of them have their children in the developed world, and they are leaving Nigeria undeveloped.
