Road To 2015 Elections: Buhari Is Too Old To Rule Nigeria – Bukola Ogunyemi

A blogger, Bukola Ogunyemi, on Sunday wrote off the chances
of a presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) to add value to Nigeria as president of the country,
reports Channelstv.com

“I think he is a bit too old, I think his time has passed
and he is of more use to Nigeria and Nigerians out of the presidency”, he said
on Rubbin Minds.

His declaration to run for the presidency in 2015 is “the
worst kept secret in Nigeria’s political sphere”, he said.

If he is teaming up with Governor Kayode Fayemi, that will
be a game changer. I think Nigeria needs someone like Fayemi.

He further noted that Buhari “doesn’t have that vibrancy and
is not in tune with what is happening in Nigeria today. Adding that he has not
provided any reason different from what he has always provided in his last
three attempts to serve Nigeria.

“I read his speech saying he intends to run for one last
time and I was looking to hear one major reason he is presenting himself for
the fourth time to serve Nigeria in that capacity and I still cant find it”, he
said

The blogger maintained that Buhari’s declaration will test
the internal democracy mechanism of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Do you think his comments are rather too harsh?
