    President @MBuhari has signed the #NotTooYoungToRun Bill, reducing the minimum age to run for President from 40 to 35 years, State and Federal representatives from 30 to 25. Senator and governorship age limits remain the same - 30 years of age.

        What is there to celebrate in an allegedly 75 year old man (football age?) who does not have a single youth in his cabinet, signing the #NotTooYoungToRun Bill? If he believes in it, then he should have at least one youth in his cabinet. He just wants to reap where he hasn’t sown.

        Or at least resign. Buhari hasn't been a man that puts his money where his mouth is. Just like he said he will stop medical tourism but he has a permanent hospital bed in d UK. He is just a show man. He signs such a bill, yet he wants a 2nd term. Its hypocrisy
