Politics [Video] Buhari Does Not Know His Running Mate's Name

[Vunderkind]

A video is going round on social networks showing Presidential Candidate Muhammadu Buhari, during a campaign speech, calling the name of his Vice-Presidential aspirant, Professor Yemi Osinbajo as 'Professor Yemi Osinbade.'

This has caused a furor online, as many are leaning heavily on the argument that Gen. Buhari is too old to rule the country and that senility is beginning to creep up on the man.

Reno Omokri on Twitter said: "A Presidential Candidate that can't even remember the name of his VP! May God save Nigeria from a One Chance Candidate!"

A Nairaland user said: "Wow! When GEJ said the man does not remember his own phone Number APC Members screamed! now he can't even recall the name of his own running mate, its a shame!"

It's not impossible for someone of his age to forget phone number or someone's name. Old age cannot be cheated.

So do you think old age and the resultant amnesia it brings (or Alzheimer's, if you like) would not affect his hypothetical leadership?

It will definitely affect. It's actually a shame on Nigeria that people have to depend on a 72-year-old to bring the so called change. As far as I'm concerned, if Buhari wins, I don't have much expectations from him.

Indeed it's a shame. President Jonathan ruled Nigeria exactly as a person who had no intention of returning would. This has created a paucity of choices for Nigeria. If PDP had fielded someone else apart from Jonathan, perhaps...

If APC had fielded someone apart from Buhari, that would have been excellent as well. Paucity of choices.
