2Baba, the Nigerian singer, has pleaded with the youth in Anambra to shun violence during the November 6 governorship poll.
Insecurities โ coupled with the activities of the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and the crackdown by security operatives โ have heightened the tension in the southeast over the past months.
These have prompted concerns from many Nigerians about the feasibility of the governorship polls in Anambra.
According to reports, the Afrobeats spoke in Awka at the ongoing โVote Not Fightโ campaign.
At the event, 2Baba reiterated the place of the youth as โcritical stakeholdersโ in polity and nation-building.
Idibia urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the security agencies to discharge their duties without any form of bias.
He also charged the electorate to cooperate with the security agencies to ensure a violence-free election on November 6.
The campaign is organised by the Catch Them Young Community Initiative (CATYCOI) in collaboration with the 2Face Idibia Foundation.
It is supported by the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
