“The only position that should be reserved for people of 70 years and above should be Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT), and not presidency or national chairman of a political party
“In this age and time, the party can’t have a Presidential candidate with over 10 years age above the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi and it would expect to compete favourably.
“If nobody would hire someone above 70 years afresh to running his business or company notwithstanding how intelligent that person might be, such should not be prescribed for the country.
“Party administration and governance are energetic job, therefore should be giving to people with age on their sides,” he stated.
