60-Year Age Limit Bill For Presidential, Gov. Candidates Passes Second Reading
The House of Representatives has passed for second reading a bill seeking to stop anyone above 60 years from vying for election to the offices of the president and governor in Nigeria.
If this bill scales legislative scrutiny and is signed into law, President Bola Tinubu, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and the 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, will miss out on the 2027 presidential contest as they are all above 60 years of age.
