A former lawmaker has sent a warning to youths after All Progressives Congress national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu said youths should wait until after his own tenure before contesting the presidency.
Shehu Sani while kicking against such comment, said by the time Tinubu manages to finish as president, youths would have become elders themselves.
The All Progressives Congress stalwart during his visit to the palace of the Alaafin of Oyo on Sunday had jokingly said the youths should wait for him to finish his own tenure as president of Nigeria before gunning for the position.
Tinubu had while speaking at the palace of the traditional ruler, prayed for the youths to attain high positions in life including becoming the President of Nigeria.
He however added that they would have to wait until he completes his own tenure in office.
“You will become president…but after me,” he said amidst cheers from those at the gathering.
Reacting to the statement, Sani on Monday via the micro-blogging site of Twitter said by the time the youths are done waiting for Tinubu to become President and complete his tenure, they too would have become elders.
He wrote: “By the time the Youths waited for Baba and waited for Jagaban to finish their tenures, they have become elders themselves.”
