May 30, (THEWILL) – Singer, Olawale Oloforo, aka Brymo, has charged Nigerians to stop trying to “kill off” Bola Tinubu’s presidential ambition on account of his age.
Tinubu, a former Lagos governor, is seeking the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Given the rather fragile state of the nation, there have been mixed feelings among the youth about re-electing as president, politicians who have served in public offices in the past or one with alleged health challenges.
Earlier, Eniola Badmus, the Nollywood actress, had come under heated criticism for endorsing Tinubu, who is aged 70.
On Tuesday, a Twitter user condemned the backlash against Tinubu, saying: “This Jagaban (Tinubu) candidacy has truly helped me see that so many Nigerians actually don’t care about purposeful or diligent leadership.”
Supporting the Twitter user’s statement, Brymo expressed concern that many people are being dismissive of Tinubu over no more than the age factor.
He stated that only Tinubu had the plan it takes to better the lots of Nigerians.
“Yet, he’s the one with a plan. We all know that. Let a city boy be president for once!” Brymo wrote.
“Never met the man or anyone who represents or is acquainted with him. Or even his relations and political affiliates. And if we stopped trying to kill them off for being old.”
But when another Twitter user threatened to no longer be his fan for supporting a Tinubu candidacy, Brymo replied that he will not miss the fan’s patronage.
