> is just too old to run a democracy this size.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu was born 29 March 1952. He is 70.
Joe Biden was Born November 20, 1942. He is 80.
There are plenty of world leaders that are old and I completely agree with you. Why aren’t there upper age limits? The UK House of Lords, US Congress and US Supreme Court have this problem too.
Until recently, old age was supposed to be a Good Thing in leaders, because experience would (or rather should) provide perspective to go beyond hysterical everyday squabbles and actually produce Laws that could survive in the long run. It would also mean such leaders had gone through challenging jobs, and demonstrated themselves worthy of higher office.
He claims to be 70 but it's been disputed widely - I don't have the energy to filter signal from noise though.
