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.

You are quite right bro! Let them know

You just asked a foolish question, but I would answer you. It means GMB is not old to become Nigeria's president.

stop advertising your dumb self.nobody is going to buy..pple like you are a burden on nigeria.

And what has been the fate of those countries you mentioned? Non of them are better than Nigeria. Their old presidents are not able to lead them to greater heights. Madella knew he was too old, that was why he resigned, not because he was too nice. How progressive and developed are these countries governed by old me? They are all struggling African countries, and can't measure with Nigeria economic wise. I thought you would name the presidents of USA, GERMANY, CHINA etc. Please, show me a developed country governed by an old man, only then, I can vote for Buhari. And again, were those old men also certificateless?

nice post, good research done.

now i know that age is not a barrier rather its just a number...

so, GMB can contiune wit his ride till 2019 then add another 4yrs.

GMB TILL 2023

All in a bid to sell an "old school ruler" from the past. Most of those names you have mentioned are dictators in modern times, running aground their less developed countries(relative to nigeria).

My only problem is the adjective "Great" you used. Kindly highlight what was "great" about the bunch you just listed. Save for Mandela whose greatness was really attributed to his pre- presidency struggle against apartheid and the 27 years imprisonment he suffered for it. His not running for a second term made him and sealed his fate as an icon. The others are just...

If buhari try and won this election, Nigeria will surely turn upside down.so is better u dnt vote for buhari before Nigeria will town to something else.
