Buhari Begs Youths Not To Run Against Him As He Signs ‘Not-Too-Young To ‘Run’ Bill

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has begged Nigerian youths to shelve their political ambition until after the 2019 general election.

This is coming months after the president described the youths as illiterates, lazy and people who want freebies.

Mr Buhari made the plea on Thursday while signing into law the Not Too Young To Run’ bill passed by the National Assembly last year.

He signed the bill in the presence of selected invited youth from across the county at the Council Chamber of State House Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The president had on Tuesday assured Nigerians that the ‘Not too Young to Run Bill’ will be signed into law in a few days’ time.

“You can aspire for President but Please postpone your campaign till after 2019 election,” Mr Buhari, who is running for a second term pleaded with the youths.

The new law is aimed at relaxing some of the stringent and discriminatory provisions of the constitution.

The bill was passed by the National Assembly last year to alter Sections 65, 106, 131, 177 of the constitution. It was to reduce the age qualification for president from 40 to 30; governor from 35 to 30; senator from 35 to 30; House of Representatives membership from 30 to 25 and State House of Assembly membership from 30 to 25.

Lawmakers also approved independent candidature in the new law. It was part of a wider constitutional amendment process which the National Assembly carried out last year.

Since its passage in July 2017 by the National Assembly, about 25 states, representing more than two-thirds of the country’s 36 states, had adopted the bill as at March ending.

It was the outcome of relentless efforts by a coalition of more than 40 youth-based initiatives across the country.

Buhari will rig out any youth who want to contest against him in 2019 election.

Yet these old cargo leaders will tell us that youth are the leaders of tomorrow.

If only He agree to provide 1million jobs for the youth together with scholarship

He meant every word he said right there.

President Buhari has done a very unselfish thing: by signing the #NotToYoungToRun bill, he has opened up his job to competition!

That is Selfless! That is heroic! That is statesmanly!

We look forward to him solving the farmer-herdsmen crisis!

The best accolade we should give him is to re-elect him in 2019! Let’s do this!

And this is the person acetain @igbodefeder was praising on another thread..

Lust for power is all this man knows about, but the responsibilities the power carries and demands he absconds..

It would have been better he never signed it at all...

Useless post.
Buhari must surrender
We need another person in Aso Villa

H

Hissss*

as if he will allow any win him

Here we go again.....

This is a bill no Preseidnt have ever thought of signing since the inception of this nation.
Good job my president.

GOD BLESS PRESIDENT BUHARI.

Oh the irony.

And it's not a guaranteed fact that come 2023 the APC would wholeheartedly support any youth for presidency. They'd still produce one sick old man.

This bill is only mere word to placate some fools and give the BMC something to clutch on as a "Buhari achievement".

him never see anything yet

I do not care who runs against you. I only want you to conduct a free and fair election where our votes will count. With present day INEC structure, Buhari will win Obama if he was to run against him.

We are TOGETHER in this.
Buhari till 2023.

But you can allow cows run against you shey

He has gone senile.

My President

Funny he never remembered that it was mostly the youths that voted for him in 2015. The senile old goat suddenly realized that another election is near, right?

All he wants is to bask on the trappings of power for another term. He knows absolutely zilch what right thing to do with it.

When an uninformed illiterate from the dark recesses of the backward north manages to come into power, what innovative difference do you hope he can achieve?

Bubu is a classic example of "power miss road"

Very funny...so we should wait till u die or wen old age catches up with us to run for the seat...
