The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele
Fayose, has reacted to the signing of the ‘Not Too Young To Run’ bill by
President Muhammadu Buhari.
Fayose said by signing the bill,
Buhari should remind himself that he was “Too Old To Run,” hence he should
vacate the office of the President for the youths.
In a series of tweets, the
governor said the country needs to be “totally returned to the youths who own
the future of Nigeria.”
The tweet reads, “I commend the
youths who championed the “Not Too Young To Run” agitation and urge them not to
relent because it is not yet uhuru.
“We must totally return the
country to the youths who own the future of Nigeria. Here in Ekiti, if you are
above 40 years, you can’t be LG Councillor.
“We must have a Nigeria where
anyone who is qualified to vote can also be voted for, not this hypocritical
signing of “Not Too Young To Run” Bill by the same President who said our
youths are lazy and must not run against him in 2019.
“Today in Ekiti, the PDP Deputy
governorship candidate is 39 year old. He became chairman of Ado LG at 35.
“On the contrary, the APC deputy
governorship candidate is 74 year old. He was chairman of Ado LG 25 years ago.
“The future of Nigeria belongs to
the youths and we must handover the country to them without restrictions.
“If at 18, you are old enough to
choose, you must also be seen as old enough to be chosen.
“Lastly, our President who signed
the “Not Too Young To Run” should be reminded that at his very old age, he is
also “Too old To Run.” He should leave the stage for the younger generation of
Nigerians.”
Recall that Buhari had yesterday
at the Presidential Villa, Abuja signed the bill into law.
Fayose no matter what you do you can never be the president of Nigeria,and just like you disrespected the president disregarded him so it shall be with you.
