Obasanjo to Politicians - Stop Using Youths As Thugs

Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has taken a swipe at politicians who use other people's children as political "thugs" while shielding theirs from trouble. Obasanjo, who made the call in London, also called on politicians to make amendments to the laws and party structures to enhance the access of young people to political office.
