Former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has described President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as too old to seek the presidency in 2027, urging them to make way for younger Nigerians.
Oyinlola made the remarks on Wednesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he argued that the country needs younger leaders to take over its leadership.
He recalled that while serving as governor of Osun State, he had advised against people above the age of 50 aspiring to govern a state, citing his personal experience in office.
According to him, both Tinubu and Atiku have made their contributions and should allow younger Nigerians to take up leadership positions.
“Tinubu and Atiku are too old to contest the 2027 presidency. They should step aside for younger people.
“When I was in Osun, I made a declaration based on my experience in office that anybody above 50 should not aspire to be governor of a state,” Oyinlola said.
