Former head of state, Gen Muhammadu Buhar, who is the
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in next month’s
presidential elections in Nigeria, has been advised not to participate
in the polls because he is too old to rule Nigeria again.
Making this statement at the weekend in Warri, Delta State, was the presiding Patriarch of Flock of Christ Mission International, Bishop Simeon Okah.
The clergyman, who is famous in the South-South of Nigeria, advised the 72-year-old Buhari to sit down because he is too old.
While giving reasons Nigerians should not vote for Buhari, Bishop Okah said: “At his age, I have the desire and cry for the youth of Nigeria. Buhari will not communicate with these young ones. He will not feel what they feel, I prefer a younger person to him, who is educated.”
He added that, “Now Buhari is saying he will fight insurgency,
that he will use the army. When he was a general in the army and Head of
State, he was not able to handle the army when they staged a coup. Is
it not coup that sacked him?
