Actor, Singer, Politician, Banky Wellington also known as Banky W has berated the Federal Government of Nigeria after it order the ban of Twitter in Nigeria.
He described the government as clueless and lacking in priorities saying that insecurity should be the focus rather than a social media ban.
Banky W suggests that since Nigeria’s retirement age is 65, Nigerians should ensure they no longer vote in any politician that is above 65 years of age.
Banky W ‘s Tweets:
Banky Wellington@BankyWยทNigerian Government bans Twitter, and announce the ban ON Twitter. You can’t make this up. Clueless.
“They can’t stop kidnapping, armed robbery and terrorism… the country is as unsafe as ever… yet they can seize passports and block bank accounts of peaceful protesters. They ban cryptocurrency. They ban Twitter. Completely out of touch with the plight of young people.
“The retirement age in Nigeria is 65. What if we decide not to vote for anyone over the age of 65? Regardless of party. If you’ll be over 65 at the time of elections, we won’t vote for you. It’ll at least eliminate an entire group that has had enough opportunities to fix this mess.
“We did #NotTooYoungToRun. Can we consider doing #NowToOldToRule? If you’re over 65, you’ve had your chance to help fix this mess. Isn’t it time for that entire generation to rest? The Nigerian Government should not be a retirement home. It’s worth a thought. It’s worth a shot.
“I know being young does not guarantee good leadership. But at least a younger crop of candidates reduces the possibility of us being stuck with leaders who are completely out of touch with young people. We can then focus on Competence, Character & Credibility. #NowTooOldToRule‘
