Ahead of February’s presidential elections, Professor Christopher Imumolen, the candidate of the Accord Party, has called on the electorate to vote for him as he is better than all the other candidates vying to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari.
In fact, Imumolen believes he is better than all the leading candidates combined, alluding to Bola Tinubu of the APC, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP, and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP.
Imumolen, who made this known via a news release made available to newsmen, said he is ready to serve Nigerians wholeheartedly if elected president, adding that his bid for the presidency is a symbol of positive transformation for the new generation.
The 39-year-old educationist and philanthropist, who is the youngest candidate in the 2023 race, said: “While I am at my peak as a young man who will be 40 this year, I want to be given the opportunity to serve Nigeria and return her to the path of sustainable growth and development.
“Four of my co-aspirants in the presidential race – Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Kwankwaso – served in various capacities in government in their 40s.
“Tinubu served as governor of Lagos State between 1999 and 2007 in his 40s. The same for Kwankwaso in Kano State, and Peter Obi in Anambra State. They were also in their 40s.
“Atiku, we are told, retired from the Nigeria Customs as Deputy Comptroller General at the age of 43 on April 30, 1989,” stated Imumolen, who then proceeded to highlight some of the qualities people in their 40s are renowned for, as he seeks to convince Nigerians why he is a better choice than the leading quartet, the youngest of which is 61-year-old Obi.
Kwankwaso clocked 66 last October; Atiku marked his 76th year on November 25, while Tinubu will be 71 in March.
“There is something magical about the age 40. That is the time a man, a leader, is at the peak of his powers,” continued Imumolen. “A time he has all the strength, ability and presence of mind to work and give his all for the development of his people.
