Reactions to age of presidential aspirants in 2027
@calebfranklyn
Peter Obi at 66 will be the least qualified because he is not yet matured enough to lead Nigeria.
@Amaogudu
And somehow Bola Tinubu looks older and more geriatric than Atiku and David Mark.
Who is deceiving who?
@Propenguru
Atiku will be regretting why he didn't use football age like Tinubu. Anyways, 81 years is too old to be Nigeria's president. Atiku should anoint Obi with El Rufai or Tambuwal.
It's better than to contest against wise counsel & still lose again.
@osime2014
Nigerian youth should leave social media and come and learn politics from this father , dey may not have get it right. if youth don't get involved this father will still be the at the Frontline. Making noise on our handle will not give us power or leadership, until we come in.
@waleshabie730
This is the reason many of them are fighting for their last political survival. They know quite alright that if Asiwaju continues to 2031, that will be the end of an era. The politicians within the 35- 55 years old age bracket are the new bloc.
@kingkhone4real
Atiku can only do one term, BAT can finish his 8 years comfortably and Peter Obi can wait to contest at the age of 78 when power will be returned to the south.
Tinubu will lose 2027 polls before 12 noon
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that former APC lawmaker, Gudaji Kazaure, predicted President Tinubu will lose the 2027 presidential election before noon on election day.
Kazaure claims President Tinubu swept under the carpet alleged corruption cases worth N113 billion, which he had presented to the president before he was sworn in.
Kazaure expressed confidence in the electoral justice system, sent strong words to Nigerian citizens.
