Former governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, on Friday disclosed that he might live for only 20 years more on earth.
Suswam disclosed this while assuring that President Bola Tinubu is laying a future for the younger generation through his economic policies.
Speaking during the PBAT Door-to-Door rally in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, the former governor faulted those criticizing Tinubu's economic policies.
According to Suswam: "A lot of people have been criticizing what is going on, an investment for the future. When you give birth to a child, that child does not start running from day one and so the economic policies that have been introduced to us in this country, as a student of contemporary economic, I know for a certain that the future belongs to the younger generation, and the future is being laid by this great Nigerian, Tinubu.
"If you look at the economics of countries in the Middle East Asia like Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and the rest of them; most of them have taken this same economic policies and built a future that is benefitting the younger generation now."
Suswam also urged the older generation to build a solid foundation so that the younger ones won't experience the current suffering.
He said: "We as elders of this country need to leave a solid foundation for our children otherwise they will fall into the same mistakes and suffering that we are experiencing now. This Nigerian decided to take the bull by the horn, most past leadership have failed to take the bull by the horn knowing that we are headed towards the rock.
"It's not going to be easy in the short term but in the long term, especially for you the younger generation, what is happening now is for you and not for me because I believe that if I live so long enough, it's only for 20 years but most of you still standing here have about 70 years to live."
