Tinubu, Too Old, Weak To Be President – Pete Edochie

Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has stated that APC National Leader and presidential aspirant, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is too old and weak to be President of Nigeria.

Edochie made the statement during an interview with BBC Igbo.

“Many people like Tinubu are too old and too weak to run for president. He (Tinubu) has been in power for a long time, until he was made the leader of the APC. But he should leave the position for those who are younger and healthier; let’s be honest.”

“Ìgbò, Hausa, and Yorùbá are the major ethnic groups in Nigeria. Only once in the history of Nigeria has it emerged that an Ìgbò person became the head of state in Nigeria. That was (former military head of state) Aguiyi Ironsi during the military government and his headship was short-lived. Since then, the North and the Yorùbá have been sharing power between themselves, apart from Goodluck Jonathan who isn’t even Ìgbò.”

Pete Edochie giving further reasons why Tinubu should not be president stressed that Nigeria needs an Igbo leader who will end looting and socio-economic woes and transform the country.

He continued, “Why has power not returned to the Ìgbò people? Is there a plot by the political elites to sideline the Southeast? I’ve lived in the north. I speak Hausa. But it’s long overdue for Nigeria to have a leader of Ìgbò extraction.

“The problem in Nigeria is greed. Leadership is dominated by Northerners but, 60 years after independence, we’ve not ended the electricity problem, when coal-based Oji River supplied power to the whole east before the civil war.” He said.

GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that despite the claim of Edochie about Tinubu being too old that the APC national leader according to Wikepedia is reckoned to be 70 years, well below the age of the incumbent who is 79 just as President Joe Biden of the United States.
