Constitution Permits FG To Postpone 2015 Elections Over Boko Haram War by tochukwuifeduba: 7:11am On Nov 04, 2014 |
Boko haram is not just a terrorist group but a secessionist movement aimed at recreating an ancient Islamic El Kanemi Caliphates in the NorthEast of Nigeria. which can be likened to the 2 Nigeria Civil war. In view of this fact the presidency and the national Assembly must invoke Section 135 of the 1999 constitution Section 135 of the 1999 Constitution as amended states, “If the Federation is at war in which the territory of Nigeria is physically involved and the President considers that it is not practicable to hold elections, the National Assembly may by resolution extend the period of four years mentioned in subsection (2) of this section from time to time; but no such extension shall exceed a period of six months at any one time.” Source: http://www.nigeria-law.org/ConstitutionOfTheFederalRepublicOfNigeria.htm 14 Likes 5 Shares |

Some people are half educated. Firstly, Nigeria is not at War, we only battle terrorism. Why are Jonathanians afraid of 2015? It is end of the Road for PDP, They Should get used to the fact that APC Government Headed by General Buhari is coming to take charge in 2015. **MODIFIED** Anyway, let me use this opportunity to enlighten our esteemed Readers. 1. General Muhammadu Buhari Crushed Maittetsine Insurgency within 16 Months in the 80s 2. Maitatsine resurfaced again in 1985 when General Babangida was in Power and was again crushed within weeks by the IBB Government 3. President Olusegun Obasanjo/Atiku Regime crushed islamic fundamentalist uprising within weeks during their tenure 4. President Musa Yar Adua crushed Boko Haram and their leader arrested in 2009, within weeks. They scampered away What is Jonathan's excuse? 78 Likes 4 Shares |

tochukwuifeduba:You don't know the difference between Secessionist Movement and Terrorists. Anyway, since Ojukwu was a secessionist, that makes him a terrorist if we are to go by your logic. Google have a lot to offer you man. 34 Likes 1 Share |

Idrismusty97:Sir. It is a known secret that. Elections may not hold nex year. Remember David mark gave us inside. We have always suspected that there is a conspiracy by top jonathanians to allow the insurgency capture territories so as to have a reason to stop the election If not y will commanders in the field retreat without fighting allowing BH to over run territories 16 Likes 3 Shares |

tochukwuifeduba:Ogbeni, since when did Mandela, Chief Awolowo and Dr. Azikiwe become secessionists? Only Ojukwu falls into this category(and Shekau ). Mandela was a Human Right Advocate and Freedom Fighter, just like Ken Saro Wiwa Chief Awolowo was a Nationalist to the core, Azikiwe comes close. These men Killed Nobody, no civilian nor declared any war against their country. Isaac Boro was a Liberator, Freedom Fighter and Soldier just like Gen Adekunle and General Gowon But Ojukwu killed people in the Niger Delta, Midwest Region and even served "Jungle Justice" to his fellow Biafran Soldiers before he was owned by Gen Adekunle. Shekau is also killing innocent people in the North (of course he will still be owned by the military) 27 Likes |

And the devil finally reveals himself!!! Everyone can now clearly see why there has been a sudden surge in terrorist activities as General Buhari's popularity spikes. Someone is scared shitless of confronting the General at the polls!! I have said it times without number: Jonathan wouldn't mind burning this country to the ground with the promise of presiding over her ashes! Jonathan poses an existential threat to this nation and should be shown the way out now that there's still the chance!!! 10 Likes |
