A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, has said the job of a president does not require physical strength but clear vision and experience.
Momodu stated this on Thursday while fielding questions in
an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today.
He was reacting to comments made by Oyo State Governor, Seyi
Makinde, on the need for energy and stamina in a presidential candidate ahead
of the 2027 general election.
"The job of a president is not to be a high jumper or
long jumper. It is to think; it is to have clear vision; it is to have
experience; it is to have exposure and be tolerant. Leadership is about
managing people and resources," Momodu said.
According to him, Nigeria does not need a president who can
run around but one who can think, manage people and manage resources.
Recall that Governor Makinde had recently suggested that the
country needs a younger and energetic candidate with stamina to lead the nation
in 2027.
Momodu insisted that age and physical energy alone do not
make a good president, adding that tolerance, exposure and capacity to lead are
more important.
He said the ADC is presenting a credible alternative to both
the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, ahead of the 2027 election.
