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.
