Can A Former President Run For Governor? by MrPolitics: 6:12pm On Jan 03, 2016
I was just thinking and I would like to know if a former president can run for a lower office like OBJ deciding to run for ogun state governor or GEJ deciding to run for bayelsa state governor.

If they can't, I'm sure their spouses probably can. Imagine MaMa Peace as Governor grin

Legally, yes. Politically, not a wise move.

Yes

Why not?

I think Buhari has such ambition, after the presidential election, he made mention of putting Katsina state in the right direction after his tenure as president of Nigeria in an interview with NCA.

All are PUBLIC SERVICE positions in the actual sense. And anyone who eyes these positions should come with humility.

There are countless heads of governments around the world who had at several times served back and forth as Prime Ministers and later as cabinet ministers or even small city mayors.

But the problem is that the st.upid African thievery politician is always full of himself that he sees political positions from the prism of climbing a ladder.

The current Israeli Prime Minister once served as a cabinet minister after serving as a Prime Minister before he returned as a Prime minister again. So was his predecessor, Shimon Perez. Former Swedish Prime Minister, Carl Bildt, served as a cabinet minister after his term as a Prime minister.

A former Belgian Prime Minister, Jean Luc Dehaene, was elected a small city mayor after his term as a prime Minister, and the list is endless.
It's all about service to humanity and so there should be humility in the process.

I was dumbfounded when I stumbled on the interview where the Gambari goro addict unequivocally declared his intention to run for Katsina governorship election.

Though that appears to be his saving grace because there's already an online Poll to oust the super clueless thing

Politically, not a wise move.

Realistically, they will be roundly defeated.

See them and their reasoning. They are "wiser" than those who introduced western leadership structure to them.
