In a scenario that seems like Nigerians were waiting for PDP’s presidential candidate for 2019, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to clock 72-yrs-old, social media users have dug out a video of aspiring Vice President, Peter Obi saying Nigeria does not need a 72 yr-old Grandfather as President. Obi further explained in the video that at that age they are due for retirement.
Recall that Peter Obi is the running mate for Atiku who recently clocked 72-years of age. Atiku was yesterday turbaned as the 7th Waziri Of Adamawa on his 72nd Birthday (read here).
