He didn't say he will select. He said he will support only a younger person. Naija youth na opportunity be this o. Not to be casting aspersions, why not work to become that next person?

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan yesterday set an age barrier for a possible successor if he wins re-election, saying that anyone above 57 years would not receive his support in 2019.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Lafias, Nasarawa State the president also disowned the governorship aspiration of his former minister of information, Mr. Labaran Maku, affirming he never supported his move from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The President also promised to give special attention to Nasarawa State on account of what he said is the proximity of the state to Abuja.
Giving his determination to support power transfer to the younger generation, the president said: “We want to encourage young people because the future belongs to them. We will not take leadership from you because you are the leaders of tomorrow. The director-general of my campaign organisation, Dr. Ahmadu Ali, has mentioned that my successor is going to be a younger person and that is what we will do.
‘’If you look at how we are going you will find out that what he said is true. Obasanjo was 70 when he was elected, the late President Yar’Adua was in his early 60s, I am about 60. So the PDP is grading down from Obsanjo to me.

Jonathan must be running the most senseless and uninspiring election campaign in the history of mankink. If is always about age, tribe, religion, certificates and senseless issues, nothing about concrete policies on Economy, education, welfare, housing, foreign policy and other concrete issues.

It is an insult to dictate to Nigerians who would govern them after you win the election you are participating in when you have not even been elected. The decision on will rule in 2019 should be left to Nigerians and not the president or his party, except of course PDP does not want to give the opportunity of choosing their leaders and rig the elections.

Obasanjo was 62 when he became president and not 70 while Yar'adua was 55.

Says the self-acclaimed king maker!

What if we have a candidate who is older and more credible than you? We disqualify him based on his age? Even if it's Asari Dokubo or Shekau, as far as he is young, you will put him there? Is this just about age?

Let your campaign address the country's challenges and how you plan to tackle them, Mr Goodluck Jonathan.

Every time this president opens his mouth to speak, he gives the enlightened more reasons not to support him. After many years of failure, the few pple left in his camp as supporters are either very ignorant pple, bigots or thieves .

GEJ is d man. We cant accept a 73 years old man who forged a common wasc result as president in 2015. Buhari shld retire to d village n wait to join his ancestors lipsrsealed or beta still contest for kingship in his village bc aso rock is beyond him. He has failed three times in d past attempts n his failure this time is certain.

GEJ until APC gives us oshiobaba grin
