Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, has said although President Goodluck Jonathan is younger than the All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Maj.Gen Muhammadu Buhari, the President is not as competent in tackling insecurity and corruption.

The governor said this at the Lagos Central mega rally of the party on Friday.

Fashola had said on Wednesday that the people of Lagos should not vote for an old person.

Consequently, some critics had challenged Fashola to justify Buhari’s ability to govern Nigeria given his age.

However, on Friday, he said people should vote for competence and not age.

But replying the critics on Friday at the ongoing APC governorship campaign in Apapa, Fashola said Nigeria’s most challenging problems are insecurity and corruption, which he said could only be tackled by Buhari given his track records as an experienced security expert and a man of integrity.

He said, “Some people are challenging me that if I say Agbaje is too old to govern Lagos, what about Buhari who is older? My response is this: We all agree that we have problem of insecurity in the country. Between Jonathan and Buhari, who is the most experienced to tackle security issue? We all know it is Buhari, an experienced security expert. Then on corruption issue, who is the most credible between the two? It is Buhari? He has ruled Nigeria before and headed several positions without record of corruption and mismanagement.
