“You are too old and weak to run for the presidency” – Pete Edochie tells Tinubu
Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has stated that people like the National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu is too old to become be Nigerian president.
He said this while speaking with BBC Igbo.
According to him, the Asiwaju of Lagos has been in power for a long time and should consider resigning.
Pete Edochie went on to advise Tinubu to leave power so that the youths who are healthier and are capable of moving the nation forward will take over.
He also suggested that the Nigerian president should come from the Southeast.
In his words;
“Many people like Tinubu are too old and too weak to run for the presidency. He has been in power for a long time until he was made the leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
But he should leave the position for those who are younger and healthier. Let’s be honest.
Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba are the major ethnic groups in the country. Only once in the history of Nigeria has an Igbo person become the head of state in Nigeria.
Why has power not returned to the Southeast people? Is there a plot by the political elites to sideline the South-East? I’ve lived in the North. I speak Hausa. But it’s long overdue for Nigeria to have a leader of Igbo extraction”.
