The Octogenarian and the Nation

A Prof retires before 76 years while a civil servant must retire by 60 years. Why is this so? For the simple reason that humans are not wood. They get old and get tired both physically and mentally.
     By next year our President would be 76 officially. So why are some still rooting for him to continue making hard decisions for them. It s a wonder to see that some  youths are calling for the octogenarian to continue ruling them. The president may be willing to do great things for the nation but his health clearly is in the way. He continues to go for medical care every so often, leaving decisions untaken and costing a huge amount of money.
    The nation should allow the old man to rest. He has done his shift and should be allowed to enjoy his life in blissful retirement. An energetic person should be  saddled with taking Nigeria to the next level. The electorates should look for someone across party platforms to lead the nation. The nation must match in sync with the rest of the world.
