Still on Buhari: Bill To Lower Age To Content In Elections Passes First Reading In NASS.

The House of Representatives has passed for first reading a Bill seeking to lower the constitutional age requirement for contesting for elections in Nigeria.
The Bill with gazette number HB. 544 was read and passed for the first time at the House plenary session on Wednesday May 26th, 2016. Hon. Tony Nwulu representing Oshodi/Isolo II Federal Constituency of Lagos state sponsored the bill otherwise referred to as the #NotTooYoungToRun bill.

It was said that if this is sign into law, people like Buhari would have been screened out even before campaigning.

We don't need old people to govern us again, let our youth grow. Tony Nwulu said.
