President Muhammadu Buhari has signed a constitutional amendment that stops a vice president who completes the term of a president from contesting for the office of the President more than once. The same is applicable to a deputy governor who completes the term of a state governor. The Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Ita Enang, disclosed this to State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Friday. The term of a President or a governor can be aborted by virtue of death, resignation or removal, thereby paving the way for the Vice President or deputy governor to take over. Enang said the President also signed an amendment to the constitution that grants autonomy to state judiciary and state Houses of Assembly. According to Enang, the President also signed an amendment that reduced the duration for determining pre-election matters in courts to ensure that such matters do not get into the time of the elections and do not linger thereafter. He added that another amendment increased the time the Independent National Electoral Commission has to conduct by-election in case of vacancy from the present seven days to 21 days. Enang said, “I just want to inform you that His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari today (Friday) assented to the Constitution Fourth Alteration Bill which grants financial authonomy and independence to the Houses of Assembly of the respective states and to the Judiciary of the respective states. “Therefore, upon this signature, the amounts standing to the credit of the judiciary are to now be paid directly to the judiciary of those states and no more through the governors and from the governors. “And then the amounts standing to the credit of the Houses of Assembly of the respective states are now to be paid directly to the Houses of Assembly of that state for the benefit of the legislators and the management of the state Houses of Assembly of that state. This grants full autonomy now to the Houses of Assembly and judiciary of states. “Another Act which has come into force today is Constitution Amendment 21 which relates to the determination of pre-elections matters. It has reduced the date and time of determining pre-election matters to ensure that the pre-election matters in court do not get into the time of the elections and do not linger thereafter. “The relevant section of the Constitution has also been amended by this Act, therefore amending the constitution. “The other one is Bill 16 which is now an Act. The intent of that Act is to ensure that where a Vice President succeeds the President and where a deputy governor succeeds a governor, he can no more contest for that office more than one more time. “The effect is that having taken the oath of President once, he can only contest one more time and no more. That is the intent of this amendment. “The other amendment is Bill 9 now an Act which gives the Independent National Electoral Commission sufficient time to conduct by-election. It has increased the time from seven to 21 days and generally widen the latitude of the INEC to handle election matters upon vacancy. “These four bills, added to the Not-Too-Young-To-Run Act, have now been assented to by the President and have now become laws. “The Constitution of Nigeria 1999 as amended is hereby further amended by the assent of the President to these bills today.” http://www.titopeblog.com/2018/06/breaking-buhari-signs-law-stopping-vps.html 31 Likes 7 Shares

This is to prevent any future Jonathan from stumbling into power without the blessing of power blocs in the country. They are threatened from such reoccurring in future, where one who will not be beholden to them controls political power, and thus is free to do as s/he wills. Thus, the import of this is no more 'short cut' to president or governor after one successful attempt. Funny enough, na diz kain bills wey no go affect d common man na im naija no dey waste time sign. 121 Likes 7 Shares |

 ☣ ☠ ∆ This is greed on the part of the President. But he is contesting for a second term as the president of Nigeria. Why didn't he sign a 5-year single term for any president so that he'll spend one more year and forget about ruling this country? Na now I know say Buhari dey craze. Paranoia written is all over him. ∆ ☣ ☠ 88 Likes 9 Shares |

post=68302427: Re-read this comment of yours and ask yourself if you have made any sense? Wishing your fellow human death just because he does not agree with your view on the president. You are a paid BMC.All you do all day and night is commend the dullard irrespective of all the atrocities he is committing daily. Your moniker is just a frontier.The tread you opened about your biz is just a fallacy.You have never posted my picture or video of your business.No contact details likewise. What most of you do is,when you are been attack back,you run to your BMC mod to give the person a ban. Believe me,I am coming for you and your fellow crew big time.You all will be expose here. If you think am pro PDP,no am not,but am for good governance. Jonathan was corrupt fine,take him to court and let the court decide his fate.Stop this media judgement. Your saint president brought in Maina back to the civil service through back door. Where is Babachir till today? Who owns the ikoyi 44m? Ask yourself,if you are from Benue state,if what is happening there should affect you directly,will you still support this tyranny govt? 250 Likes 22 Shares |

It's not yet uhuru because almost all Buhari & APC have ever done or insulted others have all come back in severe form to hunt them. From Buhari's ill motivated disposition to the then late Yar'Addua's illness to all their numerous propagandas claim,parallel government issue,vindictive anti-graft war etc. Don't destroy the bridge behind you as you may need it again to escape.Whatsover goes around comes around. Buhari/APC government should never let their desperation for power becloud their sense of sound judgement. 11 Likes |
