Nobody above 70 years should run for political office – Pat Utomi

A Professor of Political Economy, Pat Utomi, has said that anybody above 70 years of age should not run for political office in Nigeria.

‎

‎Utomi said this in a post on his verified X handle on Sunday.

‎

‎According him: “Impunity and disregard of decent order has become our way. When Yar’Adua was dying people lied and governed in his name.

‎

‎“They did the same with Buhari. They are doing so again. This is high treason. This is why I say nobody over 70 should run for office. I am 70 years old.”

‎

‎Recall that Utomi had called for renewed efforts to instill democratic values in young Nigerians.

‎

‎According to him, civic education is critical to sustaining democracy and promoting national development.
