The Northern Elders Forum
has declared that the Acting
President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo
cannot replace President
Muhammadu Buhari in 2019
should anything happen to
Buhari who has been abroad
for a medical follow-up.
Chairman of Northern Elders
Forum, Professor Ango
Abdullahi, said should
President Muhammadu Buhari
fail to seek re-election in 2019,
the North must retain the
presidency by fielding a
candidate through the ruling
All Progressives Congress,
APC, party.
Abdullahi said although
Professor Osinbajo, according
to the constitution, should be
allowed to complete the
current tenure being Buhari’s
Vice, he must not contest in
2019 should Buhari fail to
recontest for a second term.
“The constitutional provision
says that in the event that the
president dies in office or
becomes incapacitated for one
reason or the other and cannot
perform the duties of his
office, he will be succeeded by
the Vice president.”
“But no one is in a position to
know at what point he is going
to recover fully and come back
to office, or whether the
unexpected could happen. The
northern elders insist that
Osinbajo cannot replace Buhari
in 2019.”
“If the worst case scenario
happens, and Buhari is not
back on seat, the constitution
is very clear that the vice
president takes over.”
“And what we then expect is
that he will take that tenure to
its logical end and from there,
the politics of power sharing
will take precedence over
anything else,” Abdullahi said.
He also said that, “When the
unexpected happens, in 2019,
we will be back to our position
that the north should be
treated equitably and fairly.”
“And we expect that another
northern candidate will emerge
as presidential candidate on
the platform of APC.”
