Senator Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi, has warned some political elements feeling threatened by the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to stop whipping up sentiments about his age.
Akanbi, a former Senator representing Oyo South Senatorial District, argued that antecedent and capacity should be the yard stick to measure an aspirant’s suitability for the 2023 presidential seat.
Sen. Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi, made the disclosure in Badagry, Lagos state, during the on-going tour of the state by South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA) 2023,
He suggested that the youth population should rather root for a presidential aspirant with evidence of quality service delivery.
“It’s not a matter of being young; it’s a matter of marketing a product. We are talking about empirical evidences, what he has done in the past and presently doing,” he said.
The Senator also noted that Tinubu has demonstrated over the years, that he is a leader who spots and utilises human talents to achieve results.
