Professor Tam David-West on Thursday said that Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC is not too old to be President of Nigeria.
According to THE SUN, David-West made the declaration while delivering a public lecture on Corruption and Insecurity: Model for Nigeria.
David-West said, "They say Buhari is too old. He will be 73 next year. He is very young. Mugabe is 90 years this year. Mugabe has been president since 1987. The President of Liberia is older than Buhari. Leadership is not by age or degree. It depends on endowment.
"Our president (Goodluck Jonathan) has Ph.D. Is he a better leader than Balewa (Tafawa Balewa, the first Prime Minister of Nigeria)? Jimmy Carter of America has two Ph.D degrees, a Ph.D in Nuclear Physics and a Ph.D Chemistry. Was he a better leader in America? I believe in Buhari because I worked with him. I believe in him because I know he is honest. I know that he has zero tolerance for corruption", David-West said.
