Jonathan doesn't give a damn about the constitution, even when the constitution does not set a maximum age for any Nigerian aspiring to be the President.
I am not surprise why people call him clueless

Of what benefit is the younger one if he's as corrupt as his predecessor. It's all about capability, Physical fitness, moral conscience and corrupt free individual who place his nation first before his corrupt practices.

Crap as usual from the unintelligent president.

Going by your warped reasoning, it doesn't matter if the younger person is competent or not.

OBJ who led from age 70 till 78, despite our condemnation of his regime, has turned out to be far better than yours by every parameter with which good governance is measured.

In your myopic calculation, you will not mind supporting any of the younger thieves and looters who dominate your government.

You remain the worst president Nigeria has ever known.

What a shame, what a backward thinking? What is the guarantee the older guy will do any better. The new leader of Greece is just 40 years. David Cameron was within his forties when he became PM likewise his chancellor, I don't need to tell u about Obama. ...This guys have made their continent proud....are they not the ones we are emulating?

"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"
What about those of us far from abuja?? Dnt we deserve special attention too.
Look what a president is saying!

Beyond the dust this comment is generating.....there is a salient point.

How many of the higher ups in both PDP and APC are under 50 years of age?

How many of the presidential candidates in both the PDP and APC are under 50 years of age.?

How many of the executives in both the PDP and APC are under 50 years of age?

While we laugh at GEJ....we should also concede that he has a point. Both parties are run by geriatrics...exemplified by the party that selected a 60 year old man as its youth leader not too long ago.

No amount of hatred you have for GEJ, this statement should generate interest and make us happy as youth of this nation. Even if you don't vote for him atleast make this a song for your party leaders that we want a genuine change, let the youth have a try or train us so we can takeover....His word will come to pass whether you like or not....Buhari, Obasanjo, Tinubu and Co won't be there forever.....are we ready to take leadership when they r gone?
