Babangida Assures He Will Serve Only One Term by jarkbauer: 11:41am On Aug 13, 2010 |
Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) leading aspirant for the presidential ticket in Nigeria, Gen Ibrahim Babangida, has assured that he will not seek a second term if he triumphs in his current quest. Babangida told journalists in a telephone conference that he will run the office of president if voted in for only four years and then work towards the emergence of a South-Easterner to succeed him in 2015. “My belief in zoning informed my desire to seek for one term so that we can allow other parts of the country to have a fair share in the presidency,” he said, adding that he would love to see an Igbo man succeed him in 2015 to fully integrate that region which had sought to secede in the late 1960s. He said the insistence of states in the northern zones on the maintenance of the zoning formula established by the PDP should not be seen as war against President Goodluck Jonathan, but a struggle for equity, justice and fair play. “When we were advocating for zoning, it was not because anyone had anything against President Jonathan. We were advocating for zoning to ensure every one has a sense of belonging,” the former Nigerian president pointed out. http://www.voteibb.org/2010/08/12/babangida-assures-he-will-serve-only-one-term/ |
