Tuface who spoke to journalists during the campaign said: “I chose Ikeja City Mall for this campaign because many young people patronize this place. If you want to pass a message across to people, particularly young people, a shopping mall like this, is one place you can do that successfully. Therefore, the campaign for ‘vote not fight’ is basically to talk to the youths to shun violence in the forthcoming election,’’ he said.
Using the opportunity to encouraged youths to desist from trouble and embrace the principles of free and fair elections come 2015, he noted that that the turnout of young people who were at the mall to welcome him was impressive as he added that the response is an indication that people want peace, “they want a free and fair election because they are tired of politicians using them to cause violence and neglecting them when they get into power,’’ he said.
