Abuja (Precise Post) – Federal lawmaker that represented the Kaduna Central Senatorial district at the 8th senate, Senator Shehu Sani has reacted to comment credited to Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu.
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tinubu was quoted to have said that a Nigerian youth will become president after him.
Shehu Sani in his reaction via his verified twitter handle said: “By the time the Youths waited for Baba and waited for Jagaban to finish their tenures, they (Youths) have become elders themselves.”
Ahead of the 2023 elections, Nigerian youths have agitated that old leaders should not be allowed to lead the nation after President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to them, it’s time for a young Nigerian to lead the country.
However, Tinubu, while speaking in a viral video, said he wants the youth to be president of Nigeria but that will happen after he’s served as the president.
The APC leader made the comment during a visit to the Alaafin of Oyo on Sunday.
“If you become the President, you want to chase us from the streets?
“You’ll become old and be president but after me,” Tinubu said.
The Former Governor of Lagos State had recently announced his intention to contest for president in 2023.
Tinubu told President Muhammadu Buhari that his decision to run for the presidency was a lifelong aspiration.
Tinubu was quoted to have said he doesn’t mind going dirty as long as he grabs the presidency in 2023.
