“There is a clear and stark difference, take the cases if state governors in a number of state being headed by relatively young people and failing woefully simply because at the apex, they do not have capable and experienced president to guide them and to give them the benefit of his experience. That’s why we have been having a number of woeful leadership in a number if state because they are being headed by inexperienced young men,” he said.
