I stumbled on a post recently online and I couldn't resist the urge to publish it. The title of the post is "List of Great Presidents from 70 Years old And Above -A Researched Response to Gov. Ayo Fayose."
The writer of the post only called himself "a citizen" but he did a good job of replying Ayo Fayose's odious advert. In the article the writer pointed this out: "Ironically none of the dead presidents on Fayose’s statics in the Punch was up to 70 as at the time of their death. This shows how confused this Ekiti governor is."
Please go through the list and appreciate the work done by the writer.

P.S. RESPONSE TO FANI-KAYODE
P.S. RESPONSE TO FANI-KAYODE
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode came out recently to question General Muhammadu Buhari's health status and challenged him to run round a field to prove that he is physically fit. How ridiculous can one go in a bid to spite one's opponent! Someone should please ask Fani-Kayode, if former president Umaru Yaradua, jogged round any field when he was contesting for president, even when itwas obvious that hs health was failing. In fact, he was airlifted to Germany during one of his campaigns and president Obasanjo, who was Yaradua's chief campaigner, regaled us with a comic scene with his "Umoru, Umoru" phone call on a campaign ground. Was Fani-Kayode not part of th governent that foisted Yaradua on Nigerians? Why is that it has just occured to him that part of the requirements to qualify for the office of president is to jog round a field? Or does the pontificating Fani-Kayode in his self-righteousness judgment want Nigerians to believe that he loves them so much that he doesn't want the nation to be plunged into crisis in the very unlikely event of Buhari's death? What point was he trying to prove by his statements on General Buhari's health. Thankfully, he has realised that all their antics have failed. Can someone please tell Uncle Femi not to further damage his principal's potential?
