2Baba spoke at length to the youth, on the need to refuse being lured into violence by power hungry politicians and enjoined the gubernatorial election candidates present at the session, to avoid employing a do-or- die mentality towards the forthcoming elections.

He further urged candidates to maintain the peace despite the result of the elections.

The speech was met with a rousing applause from his audience after which he made both candidates and youth sign the VNF pledge form and made public statements to show their commitment to the VNF campaign.

The award winning songster also embarked on a media tour to propagate the message of non-violence during elections.
