Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, the former governor argued that age should be a consideration in determining who seeks public office. “When I was in Osun, I made a declaration based on my experience in office that anybody above 50 should not aspire to be governor of a state,” Oyinlola said. He maintained that Tinubu and Atiku should step aside to give younger elements an opportunity to lead Nigeria. <span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span>
