Buhari Not Running For 3rd Term In Office, Says Aso Rock by Robinn22: 10:27pm On Oct 01, 2019
The Nigerian Presidency has reacted to online gossips and speculations that President Muhammadu Buhari may accept the campaign by a group to go for a third term in office.

Malam Garba Shehu, SSA Media to the president slammed the speculations, saying categorically:” No such attempt will happen under this President”

A group that calls itself Movement for the Approval of Buhari Third Term has been campaigning for constitutional amendment to enable Buhari run for a third term.

Read his full statement: The Presidency wishes to correct internet-based gossip and un-informed media commentary regarding presidential term limits, given credence by so-called support groups, staging street demonstrations asking President Muhammadu Buhari to do a third term.

There are no circumstances – nor set of circumstances – under which President Buhari may seek to amend the Constitution regarding the two-term term limit on holding office as President.

President Buhari intends to serve his full second elected term in office, ending 2023 – and then there shall be a general election in which he will not be a candidate.

There is not even the faintest possibility that this will change.

It is important to note that there was a past attempt to change the Constitution to allow for the-then incumbent president to stand for a third term. That attempt was wrong, unconstitutional – and rightly rebuffed. No such attempt will happen under this President.

President Buhari is a democrat. He respects the Constitution. Any activity aimed at altering the two-term limit will not succeed and shall never have his time nor support.

We know he’s not planning to run for a third term and we know he will hand over to a southerner in 2023.
