Femi Adesina: Buhari Said He’ll Run For One Term In 2011 — It’s Not Applicable A by Ebullience(m): 12:28pm On Apr 10, 2018
Femi Adesina, spokesman of President Muhammadu Buhari, says his principal’s 2011 statement that he will only be president for one term is not applicable anymore.

Speaking on Sunrise Daily, a Channels Television programme on Tuesday, Adesina said Buhari entertained pleas for him to be president for the past one year before declaring his intentions.

“The other one of running one term was in 2011. When he was running in 2011 he said yes he will be a president for only one term but did he win in that year? No. The victory came in 2015. So that being quoted from 2011 is not applicable again,” Adesina said.

“There were a lot of convincing and appeals. I have sat in different meetings with different groups and the president and all of them the reason they came was that they run for a second term in office.

“And do you know that whenever the president reacted to this groups, he will pick every other thing he raised and he said the issue of a second term he will not say a word and that has been the past one year, these calls have started coming and he didn’t say a word. That reinforced my opinion that for him that it is not a do or die affair it is just a matter of serving the country.

“I think the president had just picked the right time to make his intentions known, whether it will affect governance or not depends on the personality of who is the president,” the president’s spokesman said.

“Don’t forget that under Obasanjo when the process was affecting governance, he read a riot act and said let’s concentrate on governance, President Buhari is just somebody like that, he will never allow politicking to affect governance.”



He said the president may be re-elected on his achievements in security, reviving the economy and fighting corruption.

“There certain things that he set out to do. Normally it comes up under three broad umbrellas. One is secure the country, two is fight corruption, three is revive the economy and I have said it in all three areas,” Adesina said.

“There are successes in all three of these areas. Except anybody is willfully blind. The willfully blind will never see, even if you put the thing right in front of his eyes. We are not talking to the willfully blind or deaf.”

A Buhari that not only denied he'll only do a term but also shed croc.tears that he will never contest election again in Nigeria and end up betraying his own integrity only to make Nigeria the mess it's today again as in 1984-85

Adesina will go at any length to defend what is cast in stone, what is engraved in our memory. But he can only deceive the dumb zombies whose minds have been tweaked to be forever useless.
