The Presidential flagbearer of Accord Party, Prof. Chris Imulomen, has stated that the challenges facing the country are not that which a 70-year-old president can tackle.
Two of the leading candidates in the 2023 presidential race are over 70 years.
- 2023: Fani-Kayode, Gbenga Daniel, Orubebe, other Double-Faced campaigners
- 2023: A retirement home for governors?
At a meeting with stakeholders of the party in Kano, Imulomen said Nigeria needs a youthful mind who is at the peak of their career to lead the country out of doldrums.
Imulomen noted that the major challenge facing the country is disunity, stating that if he becomes president all that will be history.
“Nigerians are suffering across board. We need a leader that is at the peak of his career, not a leader that is almost declining, we don’t need 80-year-old, 70-year-old president.”
“The problems of Nigeria need a youthful mind to engage it. I am the only candidate that will tackle security, that will tackle unemployment, that will take all Nigerians as one, there will not be a difference between youths in the north and south.”
He said Accord as a party is one that represents unity, therefore, a president from the party is a guarantee of unity for the country.
Imulomen said, “If you have a president that is from accord, do you know the meaning of accord, accord means oneness and progress. The party represents unity.”
