Former military Head of State, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) has reiterated his stand that he will not support an old person for the 2023 presidency.
The former military ruler had in an interview in August 2021 noted that he will not support anyone above sixty for the presidency.
Babangida never mentioned anyone’s name but he dropped clear conditions that neither Atiku nor Tinubu could meet.
Atiku would be 77 in 2023, while Tinubu would have turned 70 years – which automatically rules them out in Babangida’s book.
The former President, consider the office too tasking and not too good for people of his age to be in the scheme of things. He pointed that a younger , vibrant, and full of life President who will be able to reach out to the enormous task of the office should be considered.
