Former minister of petroleum, Tam David-West says at 78 he's not too old to work under Muhammadu Buhari as a minister. THE SUN reports that David-West made the comment during a telephone interview. He said he would not turn down anything given to him by Buhari.
''Let the appointment be made first. I will not turn down anything Buhari gives me because I know him that he can turn Nigeria around. So, anything that I can contribute to his Nigeria project, I will do it by the grace of God, because anything I do, God directs me. And if it is the will of God, of course, He will give me the strength. But anything that can help Buhari in his Nigeria project, I can do it by the grace of God,” David-West said.


''They should shut up. Age has nothing to do with capability. I give you a good example: the President of Tunisia is now close to 90 years old. He defeated an 80-year-old in the election. Mugabe is 91 years old. It is the capability that matters, not age.”

''Jonathan is younger than Buhari. Has he done better than Buhari? In spite of the fact that Jonathan is younger, Nigerians said Buhari can do better. Age has nothing to do with it''.
