Dele Momodu Defends Atiku Abubakar Against Age Critics

Dele Momodu, a staunch supporter of Atiku Abubakar, has responded to critics who question Atiku's suitability for the presidency due to his age, as he will be 80 by the time of the next election in 2027. Activist Zekeri Idri Jnr had argued in a viral video that Nigeria needs new leadership and urged Atiku's allies to persuade him to withdraw from the race in favor of younger candidates.

Momodu dismissed these criticisms as misplaced priorities, suggesting that instead of targeting Atiku, critics should hold the government accountable. He referenced several global leaders, including former U.S.

Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden, as well as other notable figures like Nelson Mandela and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, to illustrate that age does not disqualify individuals from leadership roles. Momodu also mentioned Atiku's previous candidacy under the People's Democratic Party and the need for experienced leadership in Nigeria.
