You Allow Old Men Become President, What Do You Expect ? – Mo Ibrahim La...
Mohammed “Mo” Ibrahim , renowned philanthropist, has lambasted African youths for supporting “old men” to become presidents.
At a recent event, which had former Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo, in attendance, the billionaire businessman said even countries doing way better than African nations back younger candidates for the presidency.
He said: “Please allow me to be frank, don’t take offence. I wish to start from where President Obasanjo stopped about age. You have been president for so long that’s why you are careful with words.
“You see people at 90 years and about to start new terms, what do you expect? We are the only continent in the world where we have president at 90 yrs old (he said referring to youths in attendance).
