Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose has reacted to the Not Too Young Bill President Buhari yesterday signed into law.

According to him the bill is not in favor of President Buhari, stating that he is too old to run in 2019 and should give way for younger Nigerians to take over.

Fayose stated this in a series of tweets he made this morning via his official twitter handle.

His tweets reads..

The future of Nigeria belongs to the youths and we must handover the country to them without restrictions. If at 18, you are old enough to choose, you must also be seen as old enough to be chosen.

Today in Ekiti, the PDP Deputy governorship candidate is 39 year old. He became chairman of Ado LG at 35. On the contrary, the APC deputy governorship candidate is 74 year old. He was chairman of Ado LG 25 years ago.

Lastly, our President who signed the "Not Too Young To Run" should be reminded that at his very old age, he is also "Too old To Run." He should leave the stage for the younger generation of Nigerians.

The president of the United states of America is over 70 and the newly elected prime minister of Malaysia is over 90. Nobody is too old to run. Instead of trying to blackmail Buhari into not running, Fayose and his wailing PDP gang should channel their energy towards throwing up a credible candidate that can defeat PMB. It is just few months to the general election and the opposition PDP cannot boast of a credible candidate. That says a lot about the quality of opposition politicians in Nigeria.

The right to legitimate aspiration is a fundamental right that cannot be denied anybody that is qualified. The younger generation of politicians that want to take over from the old class must be ready to slog it out through the ballot box. The old people will not stop running simply because the youths want power. Macron contested against people who are far older than him and won. He did not blackmail anybody into not running. If Fayose or any younger person thinks they can do better than Buhari, let them come out like Sowore and Fela Durotoye and contest in 2019. Nigerians are reasonable people, they will elect whoever they think is best for the country.
