We have seen young men in their prime whose underperformance is second to none. Take Yahaya Bello and Ben Ayade for example, both are jokers who absolutely have no business with governance. Sometimes, it isn't really about age, but the capacity to deliver.

Both are old men with certain flaws agreed, but one seems quite promising and more presentable than the other. You see, sometimes you gotta fight the devil with a demon. Nigerians will make their decision irrespective of what others think or say. So OP, all you need to do is catch the ATIKULATED train.

P.S

Your battery is low.

Well CNN has simply state the obvious reality.I always maintained that given the more than catastrophic governance Buhari have shown & given that most if not all the new politicians don't have the requisite political structure on ground to embark on the rescue mission of this nation, the PDP is the only sure bet @ present at least to salvage Nigeria first.

But it doesn't change the fact that we have leaders who don't have any iota of love or concern about the populace at heart.

No one among the crop of politicians we have now can make this country better in a few years...

Hypocrites.

For many years many of you said Buhari was too old until you had to canvas for Atiku yourselves.

Fulani was your problem.

No, Northerners were your problem.

Then it became Muslims.

Now you are canvasing for the same.

Shameless people.

I just tire bro.

Same people that insulted us for supporting an aged Buhari back then are now singing a different song now. They're only insulting CNN because their candidate is affected by the tweet. Had it been the tweet read "76yr old Nigerian leader seeks reelection against a 52yr old Atiku", they would have hauled insults at Buhari forgetting that Trump is of the same age range.

Hypocritical lots.

For the better part of 6 years, they insisted being 70 was too old.

They told us Fulani and in fact, Muslims were the scourge of the earth.

Please help me ask them what changed?

Americans are blinded by their ignorance and egotism. Trump is scamming the entire country while receiving kick backs from Steel Manufacturing Companies to build a wall. They didn't see it coming.

I love the fact that sometimes Nigerians can unite and defend the country. There is hope.
By the time the grand commander of division and tribalism is sent home and replaced by a detribalize president it will even get better.

They called us all sorts of names when we supported a septuagenerian Fulani man in 2015 now that they're guilty of the same "offence" they've now realised there's no big deal doing that. Talk of double standard.
