President Muhammadu Buhari has been advised to resign on the basis of his age, adding that since he has said there is a limit to what he can do at 72, there is no point staying put in office as President.
This statement came after the president had met with a group of Nigerians residing in South Africa that he wished he became president at a much younger age. “How I wish I became Head of State when I was a governor, just a few years as a young man. Now at 72, there is a limit to what I can do”, Buhari said.
But the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are not taking it slightly with the President, stating that if age would be a barrier with respects to his performance as a President then he should resign. The group further describe Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a gang of hypocrites and liars.

In a statement released on Wednesday 7th, june 2015, by its head, Mr Tunde Lawal, the group said: “The PDP is again vindicated by this confession from President Muhammadu Buhari and many more that are yet to come.
“Nigerians will recall that during the presidential campaigns, the PDP and other well-meaning Nigerians complained on the choice of sponsoring Pa Muhammadu Buhari as Presidential Candidate of APC and the effect it will have on the country when it comes to managing the affairs of a multi-dimensional nation like Nigeria, but, the APC and its leaders said that age is just a number”.
“It’s barely three weeks into the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and his age is already telling on him, so, what will happen to Nigeria in the remaining 1,440 days of this government. It’s better to find a black goat in the day time rather than looking for it in the night and this is why we are asking President Buhari to resign now because Nigerians will not entertain further excuses of why the APC cannot deliver on their campaign promises,” the group said.
