Vice President Namadi Sambo has urged Nigerians not to vote the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu Buhari, in the March 28 election, saying the country does not deserve a leader who is 73.
Born December 17, 1942, Mr. Buhari is 72, and will only be 73 in December.
But Mr. Sambo, 60, believes the former head of state is too old to be President, a sentiment he first expressed in January when he suggested Mr. Buhari is too old and weak to physically lead the war against terrorist group, Boko Haram.
“Our President is a young President,” Mr. Sambo said at a solidarity rally by Nigerian sportsmen and women for President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja Saturday morning. “And I don’t think this country deserves a 73-year old President.”
He therefore asked the sportsmen and women to allow Mr. Jonathan to “carry go” in the March 28 presidential election.
“Come 28 March, make sure you have your PVC cards …and make sure Mr. President carry go,” he said.
