President Goodluck Jonathan has told a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja that, contrary to the provision of the 1999 Constitution, an incumbent president's tenure of office could be extended beyond four or eight years.
Why not Jonathan can contest in 2015 if he so wishes! The Constitution
privides for two terms in the incumbent wants to in particular you have not
amended the Constitution to read One-term, whoever is advising now, folks!
As long as the CONSTITUTION says 2nd term Jonathan is very qualified as a
Nigerian! It should be echoed that it is his Constitutional Right to do
just that it is up to us Nigerian electorates to vote for him or not,
folks! IF YOU DON'T WANT HIM TO CONTEST FOR THE 2nd TWERM THEN DO SOMETHING
IN THE cONSTITUTION TO NOW READ O 5NE-TERM OF 5/6 YEARS and that will
settle the matter! We wrote already why Nigeria should have One-term tenure
in office both the Governors and the Presidents - reason being that it
will save you people cost in campaigns and will reduce the corruption in
Nigeria where incumbents will have to serve only One term and leave office!
We axpected that the NBA people and Bar. Falan SAN could see the reasoning
in this argument but is seems everybody wants Two-terms end of the Day only
one person will occupy the post in Nigeria although he may have his aides
and cohorts in the wake! So I would suggest amend the CONSTITUTION to read
ONE TERM of at most 6 years - that will help us in Nigeria to determine
the progress of Economic Team more reasonably or sensibly, and Dr. Jonathan
will not have Judicial/Constitutional claim to contest again after 2016,
folks! But please look into my New PROPOSAL ABOUT ZONING, which is
considered is what you need for Nigeria - forget what OBJ is itching to
see done by 2015! OBJ is not a politician in the sense to help us in
Nigeria other than to make sure that he is still a member of that Council
of State which contradicts what other organised economies have in their
systems! Thank you.
