Veteran journalist cum politician, Chief Dele Momodu has made a shocking revelation.

He said: “There is nowhere in the world that age was used as a yardstick to qualify or disqualify people from running for political offices.”

“What has been the impact of these younger people who said they have been in politics? Go and check their states, what have they done for the amount of money made available to them?”

“Age cannot be an automatic qualification or disqualification in politics. Who would have expected Joe Biden to come after Obama? It is up to God and destiny. I am a child of destiny and that is why I have contentment.”

“If Alhaji Atiku Abubakar decides to run, good luck to him. If he doesn’t want to run, no problem. It’s not for anybody to muzzle him, why are they afraid of him?”

“Regarding whether Atiku will pose a threat to President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, I am sure they believe so. I know those who believe he is the only one right now. He will be a threat if he is able to galvanise a major political party.”
