Yesterday, APC governorship candidate in Ekiti state, Kayode Fayemi picked 74-year-old Adebisi Egbeyemi as his running mate in the July 14th state governorship election.
Reaction to it, Governor Fayose tweeted, ‘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’.
He also said, ‘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’.
We must have a Nigeria where anyone who is qualified to vote can also be voted for, not this hypocritical signing of “Not Too Young To Run” Bill by the same President who said our youths are lazy and must not run against him in 2019.

I commend the youths who championed the “Not Too Young To Run” agitation and urge them not to relent because it is not yet uhuru.
We must totally return the country to the youths who own the future of Nigeria. Here in Ekiti, if you are above 40 years, you can’t be LG councillor.— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) June 1, 2018

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.
