ADC: President, Vice should be in their sixties – Pat Utomi

Renowned political economist Professor Pat Utomi has suggested that older individuals seeking political power are unfairly depriving the next generation of leadership opportunities.

Utomi proposed that those aspiring to the offices of president and vice president should ideally be in their sixties.

He made this assertion on Wednesday while responding to questions on News Central Television during a discussion on the coalition under the platform of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

He said: “I’m 69 years old, and I now consider myself too old to be a cabinet minister. I have given my children authority, that if by 75 years they heard I have gone to do some political meetings other than sitting at home and giving elders advice, they should immediately have me arrested and brought home because somehow I may have gone senile and not remember what I promised them.

“We should not have certain people of a certain age still running around; yes they may still be the most capable of people, but it’s not fair to the next generation. Ministers should typically be in their forties and fifties. Perhaps, President and Vice President could be in their sixties.

“But anybody who is over seventy five running, I think that, generally, they should concern themselves with gathering the nation, as fathers of the nation. They should find young people to advise and show the way.”
