Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde has cautioned Nigerians against voting people who are above 70 years of age as president in 2023.
Makinde, who gave this warning on Tuesday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, spoke during the 65th birthday anniversary and thanksgiving service of Rev Samson Ayokunle, President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and launching of a ministry.
According to the governor: “We have seen a lot of elder statesmen who want to run this country at age 75 or 78. I want them to think twice and I am saying to the people of Oyo State and Nigeria that this world is not easy.
“It is possible for you to delegate, ask people to go all over the place but when they are reporting to you, if something has not been added, a few things may have been removed,”
