Many at times politicians engage the youth during Elections just to create troubles or mayhem at political opponents for little reward.
“It`s about time we put an end to these deceptive politicians to where they belong, we can’t allow ourselves to be deceived and be used during elections to create problems to our fellow country men and women”, he stressed.
