Wait Till Buhari Has Completed His 2nd Term Before Running, Akeredolu Tells Youth

The Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has advised Nigerian youths aspiring to contest the 2019 presidential election to wait for President Muhammadu Buhari to complete his second term before nursing presidential ideas.

Akeredolu gave the advice at the 2018 Youths’ Day celebration held at the Adegbemile Cultural Centre in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

He said, “Let me state it that the youths will have to wait till 2023 before running for the presidential seat.

“Because this is when Buhari would have completed his second term in the office by God’s grace.

“The older generation may not want to allow you (youth) because they will continue to dream dreams.

“But you can beat them to it if only you can see visions with your vision and your intellectual capacity.”
