Dr. Doyin Okupe has described the recent statement of the Executive Governor of Ekiti State and Chairman of the Nigerian Governor’s Forum, Dr. Kayode Fayemi unconstitutional and a gross violation of the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizens.
Dr. Kayode Fayemi had stated that candidates above the age of 60years will not be allowed to contest the next presidential election in the country.
Responding to the statement, Dr. Doyin Okupe berated Dr. Kayode Fayemi for such utterances stating that all Nigerians within the voting age as stipulated by the Nigerian constitution has the right to vote and be voted for.
Dr. Doyin Okupe also noted that the position of Dr. Kayode Fayemi can only be achieved if there’s a constitutional amendment to that effect; if a majority of the Nigerian electorates act in tandem with the idea through their votes in the presidential election.
