Also,
• Obafemi Awolowo was 74 during his last attempt at presidency in 1983.
• Nnamdi Azikiwe was 79 when he contested for presidency in 1983.
In conclusion, I am not an apostle for recycling old politicians but I
am averse to people like Ayo Fayose pushing twisted and one-sided
history in our faces. I just want to show that all over the world senior citizens get elected and most of them see their tenure through.
In fact a few of them die in office. Only Tôn Đức Thắng of Vietnam died in office. You can research this fact. Ironically none of dead presidents on Fayose’s statics in the Punch was up to 70 as at the time of their death. This shows how confused this Ekiti governor is.
Please let us contribute to knowledge, the fact that some elements are
privileged to be in seat of power doesn’t mean we cannot engage intelligently. People like Ayo Fayose should be told that the white didn’t hide things in books for black people like us. Let the game continue, we will serve them while it is hot.

1. Majority of the countries listed above are in Africa,little wonder the backwardness of the region.
2. Reagan was president which year? What were his antecedents? What was his legacy.


All the leaders listed above mostly have the following in common: have no dark past hovering over them, are not termed as bigots and religious fanatics, suffered human right abuse not Pa Buhari's case of him been the inflicting party,have made great contribution to the development of their whole nation and have a basic education.

Great presidents? I disagree, some of them are dictators e.g biya of cameroun, museveni of uganda, tedoro of equatorial Guinea, alasenne of guinea, castro of cuba santos of angola. Robert mugabe is 90 years, and will be 96 when his current term ends why is he not on this list of 'great' presidents?
from this great list of yours, how many were elected through the ballot box
