Jonathan Won’t Stay More Than Eight Years – Aide by Nobody: 3:06pm On Jun 14, 2012 |
The Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Political Matters, Mr. Ahmed Gulak, has said the President won’t stay more than eight years in office. Gulak said this on Wednesday during a courtesy call on him by the North Central Women Forum led by a former member of the House of Representatives, Mrs. Amina Aliyu. Gulak also promised to implement the 35 percent affirmative action for women in board appointments. He said, “Please take the gospel of peace and tolerance irrespective of your religion and ethnicity to them because this country belongs to all of us and God has given us President Goodluck Jonathan. Goodluck Jonathan is the President today but he is not going to stay more than eight years. Nigeria belongs to all of us and not for one person. “Without the women our democracy will not be complete. I have seen it all during the campaign and Mr. president appreciates the role of women in our democracy and the role the women played in installing this administration. That is the reason the President gave more than 35 per cent in his appointment.” Gulak added, “I will also urge you the women in the North Central that peace is what we need in this country. We are happy and glad that the North Central is relatively peaceful than the North East. This government relies on women because the young people and children who are used by the mischief makers are your children. “All of us must say enough is enough for these mischief makers. The history of this country cannot be written without mentioning the role of women who played important roles during the pre-colonial era, including the Aba Women riot (of 1929) which gingered the independence of this country. http://www.punchng.com/news/jonathan-wont-stay-more-than-eight-years-aide/ |

No honor left in d country.A man promises sth& lies b4 ur face he ddnt mention anything like dat.A man is video taped collecting mony& he lies b4 d world his image was doctored,anoda says he wanted to catch a thief wt a sting operation,but let's d world know 2mths after d operation.If anybody is expectin GEJ to stick to a single term,den u under estimate d lack of any iota of conscience possessed by d 1999 class of politicians,they neither fear man nor God. |

Re: Jonathan Won’t Stay More Than Eight Years – Aide by nduchucks: 4:01pm On Jun 14, 2012 |
There is a very strong constitutional case for GEJ not staying on office as President for more than a total of 8 years. The man should not contest in 2015 to avoid a constitutional crisis or worse. He has a right to contest in 2015, but the constitution has not yet been tested regarding whether he can stay in office longer than 8 years. We dey watch. |

OAM4J: What eight years? As vice and now president or from the time he was elected president? The question of when to start counting has not yet been answered by the supreme court. The intention of the framers of the constitution will come to play in that calculation. Many legal scholars believe that the counting should start when he was first sworn-in as President - that would be after Yar'Adua's passing. |

what an idiotic announcement, he doesn't have the right to stay longer, 8 is his constitutional limit. This 'aide' is speaking as if GEJ has a choice. |
Re: Jonathan Won’t Stay More Than Eight Years – Aide by Nobody: 10:46pm On Jun 14, 2012 |
Its crazy, constitution says 2 terms of 4yrs each meaning 8yrs, there is no provision for more than that. Telling us what we already know. Over to opposition bigots. Am warming up for sectional rhetorics. |

Re: Jonathan Won’t Stay More Than Eight Years – Aide by Miroslavklose: 10:49pm On Jun 14, 2012 |
we can interpret this to mean 8 years up to 2015. 3yrs as VP, 5 years as President |

Am warming up for sectional rhetorics. 2 terms of 4yrs each - did he enjoy 4 yrs after Yaradua demise? A tenure is 4yrs, anything less than 4yrs does not qualify as a tenure.

GEJ Completed the remaining years of YarAdu'a as president for a tenure. He was elected to another tenure from 2011, four years later he would complete the term that qualify's him as having being elected at two previous elections. We would clap for him at the end for a job well done. Gulak a Lawyer adviser on Political matter has ignored that interpretation of the Constitution. Hope GEJ will not allow himself to be fooled. We are waiting to clapp for him and bid him goodbye in 2015: 1 Like |
