I believe Leadership/Service age depends on many factors in different countries. However, it is good for a Leader to serve between the age of 35 to 55. The elders above 60yrs can still serve as advisers. Just imagine the case recently in Nigeria where criss is looming in Kogi State over the death (related to aging, most probably due to a natural cause) of a contestant before the election is concluded. Our youth in Nigeria are not even prepared to take up the mantle of Leadership (same as other African countries) because the old leaders keep coming back like recycled packages due to their deliberate failure to groom and empower the Youth. Only a few Youth (who are mostly sons and daughters of the same old politicians) are considered for the very few available posts reserved for the Youths.
