Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), has stated that the presidency is not a retirement community for the elderly.
Obi claimed that Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, lacked the vigor necessary to lead Nigeria.
The LP presidential candidate said they were too elderly and lacked the necessary vigor to lead Nigeria in 2023 while speaking in Enugu.
“Of all the major presidential candidates – we are three. Two have come (to the South-east) and gone. If you go and check their age, the first one is in his 70’s, the second one, nobody knows his actual age.
“Aso Rock is not a retirement home. We have said it. Let people who are old look for retirement homes elsewhere.
“When I came to Enugu, I visited the Enugu campus (of UNN) and then went to Nsukka Campus, before coming here. After here, I will travel to Onitsha. They can’t do it. Presidency job requires energy,” he said.
