“Stupidity of the highest order”- Nigerians React As Oyo Elders Protest Appointment Of A 27-Year-Old As Commissioner

“Senior citizens” in  Oyo State have staged a protest against the appointment of Seun Fakorede, a 27 year-old OAU graduate as the state’s commissioner of youth and sports.

Governor, Seyi Makinde, had two days ago nominated Mr. Fakorede as part of his cabinet, after resuming office as the state Governor.

While the gesture is being hailed by Nigerians, far and wide, it does appear some people – who call themselves senior citizens – are not happy about the appointment.

According to reports, they argued the 27-year-old was too young to pilot affairs of the ministry. They also accused him of being a member of the All Progressives Congress.

Reacting, Nigerians on social media have lashed out at the group, declaring disappointment at the development.
