''I don't think this country deserves a 73-year old President'' – Namadi Sambo

Vice President Namadi Sambo has urged Nigerians not to vote the 72-year-old presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu Buhari, in the March 28 election, saying the country does not deserve a leader who will turn 73 in December. He (Buhari) was born December 17, 1942

“Our President is a young President,” Mr. Sambo said at a solidarity rally by Nigerian sportsmen and women for President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja Saturday morning. “And I don’t think this country deserves a 73-year old President.”

He therefore asked the sportsmen and women to allow Mr. Jonathan to “carry go” in the March 28 presidential election.

“Come 28 March, make sure you have your PVC cards …and make sure Mr. President carry go,” he said.
