As inauguration knocks on the door of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Nigerian artiste, Lanre Dabiri, widely known as ElDee the Don, has called out the old wigs in the nation who do everything possible to rule.
Tinubu is 71 and he will be succeeding a Buhari in his young 80s.
According to Eldee, people who are in their 70s shouldn’t be allowed to run for presidency because it is a sign of failure.
In a recent interview, he argued:
“There is no reason people who are in their 70s are trying to be President in Nigeria.
“To me, it is a failure because it means you haven’t groomed anybody this whole time wey fit come in, come bring in new ideas. You believe say na you go still do am. Na still this you go do everything.
“My mentality is, let new people in.”
The singer also claimed that his father brought the internet to Nigeria, adding that he inherited ICT knowledge from the dad.
The ex-member of the disbanded Trybemen said, “My dad was the person that brought the internet, the very first person that brought the internet to Nigeria.
So, he set up pretty much everyone; all the companies that initially, all the first cybercafés that you know. All of those connections came through my popcy. He was an IT guy. So, naturally, by association, I dey very align to IT even though I studied Architecture.”
