The aim of this thread is to lay to rest, the age factor PDP, and supporters of Jonathan's re-election bid have been using as a political weapon against the people's General.

IF A WORLD POWER LIKE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CAN ELECT A 69 YEARS OLD MAN, AND RE-ELECT HIM AT AGE 73, I SEE NO REASON WHY AFRICA'S POWER SHOULD BE AFRAID OF DOING THE SAME. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE 69 YEARS OLD MAN WAS ONE OF AMERICAS FINEST PRESIDENT.

The youngest president elected to office was John F. Kennedy (age 43 years, 236 days). The oldest president to assume office was Ronald Reagan (age 69 years, 349 days). He was the 40th President of the United States (1981–89), and served as the 33rd Governor of California (1967–75) before his presidency.



He was a member of the Democratic Party, but due to the parties' shifting platforms during the 1950s, he switched to the Republican Party in 1962.

After delivering a rousing speech in support of Barry Goldwater's presidential candidacy in 1964, he was persuaded to seek the California governorship, winning two years later and again in 1970. He was defeated in his run for the Republican presidential nomination in 1968 and in 1976, but won both the nomination and general election in 1980, defeating incumbent Jimmy Carter

[b]As president, Reagan implemented sweeping new political and economic initiatives. His supply-side economic policies, dubbed "Reaganomics", advocated reducing tax rates to spur economic growth, controlling the money supply to reduce inflation, deregulation of the economy, and reducing government spending. In his first term he survived an assassination attempt, took a hard line against labor unions, escalated the War on Drugs, and ordered an invasion of Grenada to reverse a Communist coup.

He was re-elected in a landslide in 1984, proclaiming that it was "Morning in America" at the age of 73. His second term was primarily marked by foreign matters, such as the ending of the Cold War, the 1986 bombing of Libya, and the revelation of the Iran–Contra affair. Publicly describing the Soviet Union as an "evil empire",[2] he supported anti-communist movements worldwide and spent his first term forgoing the strategy of détente in favor of rollback by escalating an arms race with the USSR. Reagan subsequently negotiated with Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, culminating in the INF Treaty and the decrease of both countries' nuclear arsenals. The fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union occurred soon afterward.[/b]

Reagan left office in 1989 at the age of 78.

Military service


With wife Jane Wyman in 1942
After completing fourteen home-study Army Extension Courses, Reagan enlisted in the Army Enlisted Reserve on April 29, 1937, as a private assigned to Troop B, 322nd Cavalry at Des Moines, Iowa.He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps of the cavalry on May 25, 1937.

KEY POINTS TO NOTE IN RELATION TO BUHARI

1. AGE WAS NOT A BARRIER FOR RONALD TO BECOME A WORLD POWER PRESIDENT. AGE SHOULD NOT BE A CRITERIA TO ELECT BUHURI AS HE DOESN’T STOP HIM FROM PERFORMING
2. RONALD ALSO LOST A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BEFORE.
3. RONALD ALSO CHANGED FROM A POLITICAL PARTY TO ANOTHER
4. RONALD ALSO SERVED IN THE MILITARY
5. RONALD WAS ONE OF AMERICAS FINEST PRESIDENT
6. ONLY GOD KNOWS WHEN A MAN WILL DIE. RONALD DIED AT AGE 93 LONG AFTER HE LEFT OFFICE AT AGE 78.
7. IT IS BELIEVED AMONG MANY BUHARI SUPPORTERS THAT BUHARI WILL SAVE OUR ECONMY AND DEFEAT BOKOHARAM JUST AS RONALD DID EXPLOITS IN THE UNITED STATES
8. RONALD SURVIVED AN ASSINATION ATTEMPT, BUHARI ALSO DID; HE NEVER USED IT IS A CAMPAIGN POINT.

IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE. AGE IS NOT A BARRIER.

hmmm. this look like a technical knockout to PDP on the age thing. Not a political person but this should be moved to FP seun

TINUBU AND FASHOLA WRONGLY FOOLING THE NORTH
By Julius Diamond

While there are young, competent, brilliant, strong, and healthy individual/politicians in the North, Tinubu and Fashola the TWO owners of APC have strategically conspired to put forward an Old, Sick, incompetent, Semi-Literate, physically weak and unhealthy Gen Buhari (NORTH)as the APC Presidential Candidate, and using a young, strong, healthy Osibanjo (WEST) as Vice President.
Will a man prefer to use an old horse which may collapse along way to undertake a long journey rather than a young horse? Such is the realities of the political strategy deviced by Tinubu and Fashola, using the platform of APC against the North. Far from verbalizations and criticizations, it is obvious that Gen Buhari with his health condition cannot withstand the heat associated in governing this country (Nigeria)as related to the office of the presidency of this great country. Definately, Obasanjo is not left aside in playing this pilitics of secret conspiracy against PDP and the Northernans, as a co-conspirator to Tinubu's politics of secret conspiracy against APC loyalist, and Fashola's politics of secret conspiracy to betray the North simultaneously. It is indeed a collective effort by these greedy None-Western Representative to rob the NORTHERNERS of their expected opportunity. This I conclude from the fact that it would have been better if Kwankwso was selected as the APC Presidential flag bearer. Yet, Tinubu and Fashola knowing how young, strong, healthy, articulate, and right thinking Kwankwaso was; Tinubo and Co decided to sideline Kwankwaso only to select a sick candidate(Gen Buhari), a replicate of 2007 "Gen Umaru Musa Yar-Adua"(MHGS R.I.P), so that Gen Buhari may end his life on seat being 73years to rule 8years if elected. Of course with the health conditions of Gen Bohari, it is predictable of what will happen in the near future if elected, and it is clear to the eyes and senses that it is the WESTERNERS (Osibanjo) who will succeed in governance after another human induced ill luck for the NoRTHERNERS.
A good brother to Fashola, a man devoid of evil, and who could not keep this evil secret: the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayo Fayose, has through the media exposed this secret plot, and has urged Nigerians and the Northerners in particular to be very careful with Olusegun Obasanjo, Fashola, and Tinubu in relation to next month's presidential election. According to Fayose , in qoute "Obasanjo wants to make an old man like Gen. Buhari,the president of Nigeria so that he will die in office like late Musa Yar’Adua". He said what happened to Yar Adua will repeat itself if Gen. Buhari wins the presidential election. I COULD SAY A VERY BIG THANK-U TO FAYOSE, AND ALSO, I THANK GOD THAT THE NORTHERNERS HAVE RESOLVE NOT TO LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS WHY THEY HAVE RESOLVE NOT TO VOTE GEN BUHARI IN FEB 14, 2015.
Just as Fayose has reasoned. I have also thought as well on how baffling Obasanjo has created an artificial and unreasonable misunderstanding with, Kwankwaso, Atiku, and President Jonathan, and developing a media relationship between APC leader, Buhari, Bola Tinubu and Fashola. How goody is this media friendship? to what expectation is this media friendship? can a lion and a goat live together?
We can recall that it was the idea and personal decision of Obasanjo to put forward Umar Yar ‘Adua as the president knowing the man’s state of health and as he had expected, the man died in office. He was the one who said President Goodluck Jonathan was the best for Nigeria and that without him there would be no Nigeria.”
“The question people should ask former President Obasanjo is what has gone wrong between now and then? Why does he hate the North so much? Why is He so against President Jonathan? Is it because President Jonathan has refused to see him(Obasanjo) as a godfather? However, knowing this, any Nigerian and Northernans who wish good for Nigeria will not allow BUHARI & OSIBANJO to be elected. This is for the futuristic benefit of both the Northerners and Nigeria as a whole. After 2019, the next political dispensation will be for the North. This, Nigerians have not argured. For this reason, it is wise for the NORTH to VOTE president Jonathan so he will complete his term and after which the North will be allowed to present credible candidate in 2019, not an old horse being put forward."

As an Advocate for the progress of Nigeria. I call on all Nigerians and the Northernans in particular who wish well for Nigeria to see fact from this exposition and to take on the right step.

Show ur love to Nigeria, Vote GoodLuck Ebele Jonathan, Com 14 February, 2015.

Long Live Nigeria

It seems you have the same fake Certificate with Buhari ....now 69 yrs has become your 73 yrs (and this is his football age)

@Koboko. U don't pay attention to those asinines who sprawl 'cozily' on this forum with their display of un-mitigated incivility- they read nothing , they understand nothing.

kaycid77:

He was elected twice to serve two terms. By his second election, he was 73 after spending 4 years for his first term because he was 69 when he was elected for fist term. Is 69 plus 4 so difficult to calculate or are you one of Goatluck Jonathan's ex-student or imPatience Shepopo's course mate?

kaycid77:

If he can enter military with fake certificate, he can equally do same with age. I believe buhari is up to 80 years.

kaycid77:

he was re-elected at 73. If age was an issue, why did they vote him? Do u know how to read at all?

Even if buhari is 120yr old, I will still vote for him.

This is 21st century..We don't want someone to take us back to Stone Age. We tried it with Elechi in Ebonyi and it boomaranged..So it's GEJtill 2019

Yes what fashola siad is Fasholas business. I am koboko69 and i say Buhari is not too old to be president.

@ Op God bless u!

Are u quoting bible

The issue for me hasn't really been Buhari's biological age per se, but, to paraphrase Bill Clinton, the "age of his ideas".

Who are he mods and supermods on this forum now? If ot was Buhari forgot hos running mates name, Buhari can not fill.his presidential form, buharis children live and school in Uk, cheap blackmails it will have been slapped on FP. This is unfair. Seun look into this. I am not.of any patty affilitation but the rae at which character defamation and cheap black mails against buhari.makes fp is alarming. This is FP worthy..ishilove,obinoscopy mynd44....dont really know the mods. Do something. There should be equity for both political parties

Are u quoting the bible or Qur'an. It either your in the past or present. 73 years old man will never ever rule America again.

koboko69:


Yes what fashola siad is Fasholas business. I am koboko69 and i say Buhari is not too old to be president.

Buhari is to old for our generation. Fashola have said no old man shall rule us. We have other young men/women who are full of energy, wisdom and well educated to rule Nigeria..APC should have bring young generation on board then taking us back. Is Buhari more qualified then Fashola and others. Think again.
