Anybody above 60 must not become Nigeria's president
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and a former vice president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar's ambition to become president in 2023, might have hit the wall.
It was reported that IBB urged Nigerians not to vote for anybody who is above 60 years of age as the president in the next general election.
Babangida, who said the nation is endowed with both human and natural resources, hinted at a few individuals he said were in their 60s, who had the capacity to become president and could effectively run the country.
