His statement reads: “The retirement age in Nigeria is 65. What if we decide not to vote for anyone over the age of 65? Regardless of party. If you’ll be over 65 at the time of elections, we won’t vote for you. It’ll at least eliminate an entire group that has had enough opportunities to fix this mess.

“We did #NotTooYoungToRun. Can we consider doing #NowToOldToRule? If you’re over 65, you’ve had your chance to help fix this mess. Isn’t it time for that entire generation to rest? The Nigerian Government should not be a retirement home. It’s worth a thought. It’s worth a shot.

“And where are all our elected Reps and Senators that are supposed to represent us? Are they all going to continue to stay silent? Government is called “Public Service” because they’re meant to *serve* the public. They’ve turned Govt into a shortcut to wealth and a retirement home.”
