President Goodluck Jonathan has fired yet another verbal bullet at his opponent, General Muhammadu Buhari.

The president claims that he is more than certain that his political opponent, All Progressive Congress presidential candidate, Buhari, is so old that he can not remember his own mobile phone number.

He stated this on Friday during a rally in Enugu.

“Is it now that Buhari cannot even remember his own phone number that he can change the economy of the country,” Jonathan asked.

The Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate said that although he did not like to “go personal during campaigns,” “sometimes circumstances demand that certain things must be said.”

Jonathan said that Buhari belonged to the medieval age, adding that he (the APC candidate) intended to run the Federal Government as a medieval king.

“We cannot run the government as if we are in the medieval age; we cannot run a government where somebody said he would throw people into jail.

“You are not a medieval king – a medieval king can throw you into jail but we have to follow the rule of law because we cannot go back to the old days.”

Not stopping there, he challenged Buhari to tell Nigerians how he intends to revive the economy.

“They are telling young Nigerians that they are going to change the economy but they have not told us how they want to manage the economy more than us.

“If they say they want to change agriculture, they should tell us the weak links in the agriculture value chain and what they want to do about it.

“I said in Lagos that I want to work with young people, not to deceive people.

“I am not going to run the government based on my habits, I am going to run the government according to global best practices,” he said
