Hmm. . .that was like 2 months ago even Jonathan is already thinking of second/third term !

saharareporters reported this long time ago before the elections

http://saharareporters.com/news-page/jonathan-seeking-7-year-tenure-meets-tb-joshua-and-attends-redeemed-church-holy-ghost-cong

I'm not surprised he is proposing a 7-year single term This was his statement before the election:

Jonathan remarked: “I will not talk about the tenure of the Government, the constitution has said four years, though some believe that four years is too short to make any change, which I also believe. I believe because if you are a new person and you are elected as a governor today, it will take one to one and half years for you to really stabilize. And you also know that some members of your cabinet are not good and that is why in most cases, after one year or two Mr. president reshuffles the cabinet and by the time you want to go for another two and half years, it is another election and you are all busy about winning election.

Apoti,

Going with that thinking offered by Gej, it gives a sneak peek into the mindset of our rulers. Each governor or president believing his regime is a personal government.

The government belong to the people. The people do not change every four years and neither is the society replaced every four years.

So there are aspects of the society that, for a wholesome sustenance, demand linkage and continuation through successive regimes.
How does he plan to implement a 20Yr vision, prpose and obtain a 20yr tenure?

President and governors should not over-commit. Promise what you can deliver within 4yrs tenure.
If it requires longer than 4yrs to implement, then it should be a pass-on to next regime.

We don't need to change constittion to accomodate tenure change. What we have is fine we just need to change mindset.

The constitution puts a pressure on the government and this for good reason. To make the three arms of government work together in finding solutions to social problems.

By amending the constitution, they are lifting the pressure off and not solving the problems.

Sad and misunderstanding of the dynamics of government and a constitutional power.

Right on point.
Our politicians make promises just to excite people and make them vote. I still remember the compilation of all GEJ promises during his campaign, he has not even done anything and he's looking for tenure extension. *smh for Nigeria

This is how every horror movie starts:with a nice story,looks like Nigerians will finally get what they deserve for retaining PDP as the main party in power, UNCHECKED,RECKLESS,ABUSE OF NATIONAL RESOURCES.

What has he really achieved that he is contemplating this kind of controversial change so early in his new tenure?

Hello brain drain,
its finally time to exit the fatherland Shit is been treated like gold in this country. The most annoying thing is people just keep on Suffering and smiling,me I am a stand up guy,Tahir square did it for Cairo,Where is SaveNigeriaGroup,cos we need to stop these acts against sanity.
If GEJ is so sincere,why was there any need to spend N700million+ just for his inauguration on May 29?

hahahahhaa Fresh Air!

Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan the N-Obama of Nigeria is really transforming the country. Yeah i voted for GEJ not PDP is now the thing of the past. Very fast some retarrds are realising they have been shafted by retardeen ademumu the odechukwu-1 of ishangu land.
Please i want to buy akara cos i dont like mio-moi. lmao! Wetin una see sef? The change is here and so many people have been blown in to coma by the strenght of the fresh air circulating around the country. Maiduguri residents can testify to this. . ,

one term of 5 years and that's it! a president isn't meant to solve all the problems of a country. just do your part and get out.

A two term 5 or 6 years is what we need in Nigeria. That 4 years is just too short for an under developed country like ours. One term does not make sense. Politics is meant to generate a lot of controversy & interest during election years we just need to grow up and learn how to play it.

One term is a no brainer.

To give them more time to consolidate their looting and hide all traces of their neferous activities

D only thing a nigerian leader like gej stand for is looting and that is d only interest they protect

Reetardeen has started again.

Well its a good idea we can adopt after Jonathan leaves office.

Ask what he has done in 1 and half yrs he is asking for 7yrs

I voted GEJ and not PDP, I dey laff ooooo

Rhino,

U dey craze o, I swear! Nah Gej you take dey make yeye so.

Negro whut up dude?

KnowAll:

I think you have it reversed.

While it is true that 4 years is a relatively short time to effect real & lasting change, 4 years is more than enough to put the shovel to the ground and implement the change - and then step aside for the next democratically elected leader to continue or he/she can stay on if the people re-elect him/her. Complacency is what we see everywhere in Africa. Leaders have been staying put for decades, what did they accomplish that we can point to as a case study that a tenure extension is the solution?

When infact if you look around the world, the most successful model for progress is a revolving door of good leadership armed with fresh ideas to lead the country forward. Not stale overfed career politicians who want to selfishly hold on to power as if it were their personal property & birthright. It will be better knowing they have a guaranteed 4yrs - they hit the ground running and try to accomplish as much as possible.

Let him lead for 4 yrs. It is more than enough time for him to show the stuff he is made of and if the people are impressed, they will keep him for another 4. I sincerely hope every weapon of spiritual and physical progress will prosper and shoot this bill down dead & buried beyond revival.

I love the idea of single term in office for the president and Governors, but!!!!!!!! 7years is too long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr president if you will agree it should be 5 years single term not seven.

5 weeks should be enough for reetardeen Odechukwu

GUYS TAKE IT EASY!   THE BILL HASNT BEEN PASS NEIGTHER HAS IT BEEN ANNOUNCE THAT IT START WITHIN GEJ TENURE!  

i don tire for dis rulers self, Nigeria is indeed a failed state. I sorry for Nigeria- Fela

Jonathan, Seeking 7-Year Tenure, Meets TB Joshua And Attends Redeemed Church Holy Ghost Congress

Posted: December 19, 2010 - 21:16

By SaharaReporters, New York
Goodluck Jonathan's campaign strategy to remain in power beyond May 29 2011 has taken a “spiritual” dimension with a secret meeting with Pastor TB Joshua, the controversial Nigerian pastor who claimed credit for the electoral triumph in Ghana of President Atta Mills.

Pastor Joshua also claimed to have helped Ghana win the junior FIFA world cup last year, a credit that was quickly dismissed by the players and coach of the Ghanaian national team.

Prior to Mr. Jonathan’s meeting with the pastor, his wife, had visited TB Joshua in his Lagos church one week earlier.  The hush-hush meeting between the Pastor and the President took place, however, in Dodan Barracks in Lagos, once the seat of Nigeria’s military dictatorships.

Sources told Saharareporters that the meeting was kept secret in order to avoid any kind of negative connotations that could affect his widely publicized spiritual jamboree at the annual "Holy Ghost Congress" of the Redeemed Christian Church of God at its headquarters off the Lagos -Ibadan expressway.

Last week, Mr. Jonathan secured the dubious endorsement of 20 governors of the troubled People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for one term in office.  Informed political sources as well as some of the governors in attendance said it was however all done to assuage Jonathan’s feelings temporarily after they had wrested from him the re-ordering of party primaries which was putting them at a disadvantage in the political scheme of the upcoming 2011 general elections.

"The so-called endorsement is not worth more than the cost of one the newspapers that reported it,” one of the governors told Saharareporters last week.

But in a game that is yielding surprises and re-engineered alliances daily, Jonathan’s hunt for a “spiritual” edge is to bolster his determination to stay in office for seven years, if he gets elected in 2011, not just for the four-year tenure he was reportedly endorsed for.




SaharaReporters sources revealed that contrary to what is being touted in public, Jonathan has secretly cobbled together a team of strategists and manipulators that include “Mr. Fix-It” Chief Anthony Anenih and Jerry Gana, with the objective of putting together a blueprint for one-time 7-year tenure for Jonathan as soon as the elections are over in April 2011.

The plan, which is akin to the third term campaign by President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2006-2007, will be bankrolled from excess campaign funds now being generated.

Jonathan had told a delegation of the Save Nigeria Group (SNG) led by Pastor Tunde Bakare that he was opposed to elections every four years, claiming that it was too expensive.

As of last week, some governors that had “come on board” had been persuaded with the argument they would also benefit from the 7-year tenure project.

A close source to Jonathan said the governors, who were fooled by his "meekness" during a NEC meeting of the PDP last week, disclosed that Jonathan would roast them as soon as he wins the 2011 election and that all of them would be in for a shocker from a man believed is as vindictive as his mentor, former president Obasanjo.

The use of high powered religious figures and high profiled religious events has become the hallmark of Nigerian politicians.   The seat of federal power, Aso Rock Villa, is known for notorious fetish activities starting from the days of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.  It became even more so during the reign of terror of Sanni Abacha when he reportedly hired marabouts to bury live cows in the premises.

When Olusegun Obasanjo came to power, he built a chapel on the premises, which became the back door through which he engaged in dalliances with several women, as well as, in some accounts, an avenue for contractors to give kickbacks. During the Umaru Yar'Adua years, the return of expatriate marabouts in their hundreds was well documented by SaharaReporters.

ah brother we need to start venting our anger before he actually does it

This to me is just mere speculation from the National Mirror,we will wait to see if it is true or not but i sincerely doubt it because i know that no right thinking person will come up with such a proposal,even though Uncle Jonah is clueless about the way forward,i know he still has brain intact.

OBJ proposed 3rd term so why can't jonathan do try his luck

u see all this politicains are all the same. loot loot loot

4 years is all right for any serius person fashola transformed lagos within 3-4 years, now imagine he was the president

ohhhh u see

Why not 5 years like University Vice Chancellors? After all, they used to have 2 4-year tenures and they just grew wings. Now that theirs was cut to 5 years, they are more careful.

So why not one single term of 5 years?

I though they said he will be the best president nigerians will ever had bcus of his name not knowing he will be the worst and last president nigerians will had before before the UN divide us.

I love the Air of those BOMBS. smells like Agidi Jollof        

7 years of USELESSNESS ---- my heart bleeds for Nigeria.

People that are saying GEJ is thinking about this as a 3rd term tactic are pettyminded . This is a bold move and I am proud to see we have a president who can think and act dynamically. The 4 yr term is an American Invention and although not bad, it was designed for an American government in the 18th century. We are a multiethnic AFRICAN nation in the 21st century and a 4 year election cycle means that every 4 years we spend money we dont have to fight, rig elections and vote. For us the 7 year term is something worth looking at. So lets remember that some of us are educated world travelled people and look at it constructively insteading of bleating "3rd term agenda" like sheep.

I would have said you're DERI in disguise if not for your good English.
