Fayose fixed eligibility age at 18 to 40years, thereby barring aspirants above 40 years from contesting.
The governor said this was part of his contribution to enforce ‘Not Too Young to Run’ bill, which was recently passed by the senate.
According to him, the age limit would increase participation of youths in affairs of the state.
“It is my position that our youths must be allowed to participate in governance since they are the ones who provide the largest votes during elections.
“Most importantly, the future belongs to the youths and I believe that they should be given prominent roles in the structuring of that future that belongs to them,” the statement read.”
