'Youth minister should be less than 35' - Deji Adeyanju tells pres. Tinubu

Popular Nigerian socio-political commentator, Deji Adeyanju, has stated that the next Minister of Youth should not be more than 35-years-old.

Recall that Tinubu had appointed Abubakar Momoh as the Minister of Youths but he has been redeployed to the Ministry of Niger Delta Development.

Momoh was redeployed after thousands of Nigerians collectively showed their dissatisfaction towards his appointment, stating that he was not a youth.

Adeyanju took to Twitter and wrote: “I commend President Bola Tinubu for removing the 64-year-old Minister of Youth & redeploying him elsewhere.

“It shows he is not tone deaf to criticism like Buhari. The President should now appoint a YOUNG person as the minister of youth.

“The minister of youth should be someone less than 35 not any old man or woman.

“It is extremely annoying to see old men like me as minister for youth. Nobody even in my age bracket should be called a youth.”
