Pat Utomi Suggests Age Cap for Presidency, Backs Peter Obi

Renowned political scientist Pat Utomi has suggested that presidential candidates in Nigeria should not exceed a certain age. The call comes amidst the ongoing political discourse as the country prepares for its next general elections. In a post on social media, Utomi wrote: “Men who […] 70-year-old shouldn’t be president, Peter Obi will end snakes swallowing billions – Utomi
According to Daily Post Nigeria, Utomi suggested that Nigeria would have saved a significant amount of resources spent on medical tourism in Europe if the electorate voted against presidential candidates who are 70 years and above. The age limit proposal has sparked conversations among Nigerians regarding the fitness of older candidates to lead the country.
Utomi’s endorsement of Peter Obi, a popular presidential aspirant, adds to the growing support for the former Anambra State governor. The exact age of Obi was not mentioned in Utomi’s post.
The Tribune Online published an unrelated article on the same day, discussing the biology of human reproduction and the ability of a 10-year-old to impregnate a woman. However, the article does not relate to Utomi’s political statement.
