On the same day that the allegedly 75 year old Buhari signed the #NotTooYoungToRun Bill, it was announced that his party, APC, picked a 74 year old to be its deputy Governor candidate for the July 14 Ekiti guber election. Youths of Nigeria, can’t you see they are just using you?

What is there to celebrate in an allegedly 75 year old man (football age?) who does not have a single youth in his cabinet, signing the #NotTooYoungToRun Bill? If he believes in it, then he should have at least one youth in his cabinet. He just wants to reap where he hasn’t sown.

Meanwhile, 15 bills was sent to President @MBuhari by the @NGRSenate alongside with the #NotTooYoungToRun bill, but he decided to sign only the #NotTooYoungToRun so has to win the hearts of Nigerian youths towards his 2019 reelection bid, here are the other bills. THREAD!!

I welcome the signing of the #NotTooYoungToRun bill into law. I also congratulate Hon @tonynwulu who sponsored the bill. Importantly, today’s milestone is proof of the resilience & intrinsic hardworking nature of the everyday Nigerian youth who worked to make this a success.

I hope the Nigerian youths understands that these leaders didn’t pass this bill into law because they want us to rule. They did so that they can start replacing themselves with their kids early to form another dynasty to retain d power within them #NotTooYoungToRun @Gidi_Traffic

#Humility is when Baba Buhari opens bottle water himself to drink by himself.#Integrity is when you ask him to bring the water and he refused.#Wickedness is when he signed #NotTooYoungToRun bill into law and he still want to contest at 78. pic.twitter.com/FrrqRMQp04

President Buhari,
* Had no input in the #NotTooYoungToRun Bill
* He did not promote it
* The Bill was sponsored by Hon. Tony Nwulu of the PDPJust like Democracy Day when he tried to pass of Jonathan’s achievements as his achievements, Buhari is trying to steal Nwulu’s Bill.

The greatest way to achieve #NotTooYoungToRun is for all youths in the country to support fellow young people. Politics will always be a game of numbers.

I think my biggest problem is knowing Nigeria’s history. As we celebrate #NotTooYoungToRun today, it hits me that in 1979, the Nigerian constitution allowed a 21yr old to run for House of Reps/Assembly and 30 for Senate. We haven’t even matched our past yet! We are in 2018.

From PMB’s #NotTooYoungToRun signing Speech:
“Surprisingly, the age limits for Senators & Governors was not reduced, as originally proposed by the sponsors of this Bill. This is an issue that may need to be addressed going forward.”
Really surprising. Wonder why. Anyone know?

#NotTooYoungToRun would be more effective if there is #TooOldToRun Law.

#NotTooYoungToRun is not enough, give youths 50% slots. Campaigners tell Political parties

I am commending the President of the Senate , Dr @bukolasaraki for putting smile on the faces of the Nigerian youths with the #NotTooYoungToRun Bill.
This is another success recorded as one of the achievements recorded by the 8th Senate under the leadership of Bukola Saraki pic.twitter.com/ekm5H7kwps

Even as the #NotTooYoungToRun bill is being passed. My concern is “CREDIBILITY” ! You being young is not enough to qualify you to rule. If you are not credible enough or still want to wallow in corruption, please ?? stay off. We can’t recycle our suffering in #Nigeria

#NotTooYoungToRun Buhari and his people are just using diplomacy to shut our mouths up, like they’re ever ready to give out their supports when we are out to run.
You don’t want to hear these dinosaurs talking about experience and ideas.

By signing the #NotTooYoungToRun Bill, President Buhari should remind himself that he is “Too Old To Run”, hence he should Vacate the Office of the President, for the Youths.
