The Nigerian Senate, on Wednesday, barred a former president, Goodluck Jonathan from running for a second term in office. This was done during voting in series of new bills being passed by the upper legislative chamber.

The Bill sought that any vice president who had completed a tenure of a sitting president and contested a fresh four years mandate shall not be eligible to run for a second term of office.
Details later…

both Oga Jona and Mr. Bubu should be ban from contesting 2019 election, let's give the upcoming politicians the chance to change this country not that 419 Jonathan and gworo chewing bastard in London

surgical:
The world does not reward weaklings it doest matter where you found yourself its thesame treatment, jonathan's greatest since was that he was weak trying to play gentleman,a nice man was his undoing, there is nothing.,absolutely nothing that he has done that other leaders both past and present have not done, only that they are terrors and hard men and people love them hard, just like women loves hard men and tramp upon the so called nice guys , its thesame thing.

But did any of the hard men get us anywhere? Railway re-invigoration? FOI Bill? 14 new Fed universities? Leading African economy, etc?
We have a crude mentality & do not respect the rules that make civilised countries work. That is not Jonathan's fault. We are just behind time.

positivelord:
Buhahahaha...I wanted to suggest we try younger generation, but the news coming from UNIABUJA concerning their SUG President is not encouraging..

The younger ones are following the footsteps of their elders. You can't blame them. Even you would likely toe the part of your ancestors.

There's no point trying to re-assess the man via this propaganda. He is a failure and Nigerians has moved on.

The kangaroo bill is subject to litigation, so no qualms in the camp of GEJ and his college of SANs

A healthy Jonathan is not allowed to contest for 2019,
but a dry vegetable in london is still allowed to rule the country

But non of them is been vilified like this man despite his obvious chievements ,even obj despite blowing his oppoutunities is still been celebrated because of the way he carried himself, nigerians love slave masters or strong men.

what is this

Jonathan cannot contest for president again but Buhari can abi? When people start to clamor for their own different country, we begin to say they are opposition and don't like the current president because of his tribe. You cannot be claiming one Nigeria and be partial with your laws. Atiku can contest for president too abi? It will only take time but the solution to this country will eventually be a break up.

What is he coming back for?

madridguy:
Nonsense senate. Selfish rogues.
So what about rogues in the senate since 1999?

So does that also applicable to state? why don't they bare who ever has contested before in their states from contesting for senate? Presidency should not sign such selfish jare. wereh senators.

You see we should also have a law policing the policies of the senetors too who already turned the senate house to there abode.including x governors they shouldn't turn NASS to there retired zone



Youth still dey sleep sha while the same people who are incharge since 1960 are still making the law David mark comes to mind .

Youth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!make una better wake up is Now or Never

feelgoodInc:

I understand you, it's written there vice president but they don't see that, all they think of is Jonathan rather than crying for OSIBANJO now I know that some people are blind

Pls read again. Osinbajo can contest in 2019 for 4 years even if he completes Buhari's term.

He was not a nice man. You people should stop with this myth of being nice.

He was nice he also attacked the shites in Kaduna.

He was nice, he got his goons called the DSS to seize newspapers.

He was nice he managed to eliminate Azazi.

He was nice barely a month into office he had acquired hectares of land in Abuja.

He was nice he postponed an election with a set date all with the hopes of changing the course of the election by pumping of dollars to all the nonentities who boasted they ran their catchment.

He was nice he uttered the "I don't give a damn" on TV to declaration of assets.

If no come nice nko?

The man was weak and a failure but he wasn't nice.

To this issue, it is evident this is to stiffle the present VP, obviously someone has been having nightmares over his potential rise to the highest office.

I think this would be challenged to the supreme Court by whosoever is interested.

The Senate reeks of a putrid odour. But the odour is no different from that of the average Nigerian. Who applauds everything inimical to his growth so long as it is from the his pledged soccer team political party or champion.

Nigerians should buckle up and enjoy endure the ride. It would be very bumpy. Actually, a disaster is predicted.

pls how did southern senators agree to this
but did not object devolution of power

Your case is certainly from the Bible - The case of the dead baby brought before king Solomon.

You see, this issue supercedes the character you guys love to hate. Funny enough, Buhari himself might regard a reelection in 2019 as over ambitious on account of his health.

I would not be surprised if the same you start chanting Saraki for president in days to come.

Una never know wetin dey bite you.

This bill is clearly against Osinbajo....#SarakiTheSerpent

Arabiandude:
I hope this is true, just for the sake of that otu.oke drun.kard who supervised dezieni becoming the richest black woman this earth has ever birthed through corrupt means

Better hide in God, so that He will preserve your descendants from worst news. You have mouth to insult a good man

If una dey target osinbanjo, e no go work

Even if Osinbajo vetoes the bill, the NASS would still override the veto.
So, for all practical purposes, once the amendment is approved by at least 24 state legislatures, just know that it will be one law one way or another.

not possible

This Not For GEJ. Just A Subtle Way Of Preventing A Second Term 4 Osinbande. nonsense law.

Moved Backwards U Mean?

To be precise, David Mark!
David Mark is Senate and Senate is David Mark.
To be honest, it should be applicable to the 3 arms of government

baralatie:

It is possible

OduduwaYoruba:
GEJ missed it for life and I know he will be regretting it now. The yesterday cabals he was dancing around with are the same cabals fighting him back today. Corruption will always fight back therefore any man given the mantle of leadership should ensure to rule judiciously.

ekwueremadu of this word.

castrokins:
The Bill Isn't Specifically For GEJ

Why can't they include those who have spent greater numbers of days in London instead of remaining in Naija to govern.

haha! Som r even laffng nd happy as if it was Supreme Court Jugdment.

Why are they always afraid of Jonathan?
Abeg let's face the current poo on ground.

With the current leadership disposition of the country, I believe this is a step in the right direction!
