Public Office and their Age

The graph of Public Officers' tenure should come from the grassroots to the apex and back to the grassroots, like an Apex graph or a mountain.
Like a Councillor climbs the ladder until becoming a President and then back to his/her Community as Community Leader.

That is how the Eaglets becomes Eagles and retire as Old Eagles in their Communities.

When, oh when, for God's sake will the present Eagles in their 40s and 50s be Nation Leaders.

Yoruba says, Agba kii wa l'oja, k'ori Omo titun wo.
(The presence of Elders in a Community, keeps the youths on track)

The Elders give direction, they do not take direction!

How would our Mentors know that they have prepared us well for leadership if they refuse to vacate the seats?

There may not be an Odigie Oyegun if Bisi Akande insists on retaining the APC Chairmanship.

With utmost respect to my Egbons in the House, we need you all to give us a chance to exhibit what you have shown and taught us for decades now.

We ourselves are growing older. In 10 years, the 50 year olds of today, must be packing up to leave the stage for the new generation leaders. We certainly will be wasted if u do not leave now for us to do what you showed to us.

I believe that there must be maximum age for each and every office.
As at this May 2017, no Governor should be more that 55 from the first day in office.
The President should not be more than 60 from first day.

May your days be long, our Elders.

Thank you.
