<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">According to him, older politicians should support the younger generation with the needed knowledge and experience to transform Nigeria.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He disclosed this while speaking at the 2022 annual lecture of the Murtala Muhammed Foundation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He said, &#8220;We need to have an intergenerational collaboration. Fayemi said he was in primary school when Murtala and Obasanjo were there.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“So, if people of the Murtala/Obasanjo era are competing with you as Governor, then, something is wrong.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“The Murtala/Obasanjo group should be stepping aside.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Whatever experience and knowledge we have, we should be able to give it to you and you should be able to give it to those coming after you.”</span></p>
