It is done! The ‘Not too young to run’ bill has been signed into law
History has been made barely two days after President Muhammadu Buhari’s promise to sign immediately into law the ‘Not too young to run’ bill as soon as it lands on his desk.
The age limit for candidates for president has been reduced from 40 to 35 and, for governorship positions, from 35 to 30.
The #not too young to run movement was spearheaded by a coalition of more than 40 youth-based organizations across the country.
It involved young Nigerians clamoring for an opportunity to be constitutionally allowed to be voted for.
Here are few reactions from Twitter users following the announcement.
