I will support this proposal if it will be passed as a continuation of the current tenure. That is the president and all first term governors should stay on and leave in 2017 while all second term governors will vacate office in 2015. INEC will only conduct elections in these second term states in 2015 and we carry on like that. staggered elections have helped make the system more transparent. I will not support people saying it will take effect in 2015 as it will give undue advantage to some politicians and may create a constitutional logjam. Or better still, why can't we learn from the Russians? They run a system that allows a president to come back (and complete his/her tenure) after atleast 4 years of leaving his first official tenure. We can modify ours by allowing them to come back after 8 years (by then Nigerians must av seen the work of two other different presidents/governors), we can then decide to bring the person back or not. U will see people trying to out-perform others in order to have something to campaign with 4 2nd term. |

I am not from jonathan's place but i fully support a one term tenure for all our elected office holder's but on the condition that the immunity clause is removed so our leader's can be put to check. |

This is not want is required from the presidency. He should be keeping the National Assembly busy by sending them proper bills to debate upon and not this useless agenda. Clearly shows that Mr President hasn't sound policies that will move the country forward. This tenure elongation bill will now occupy the country for the next four years, thus affecting other areas that needs proper attention and supervision - re: OBJ's third term agenda. On the other hand, if this bill should be implemented, I think the immunity clause for elected leaders should be removed so that they can be prosecuted if need be. |

@ Donmeca ^^^^^^^^^^^ Your proposal will see something like this: OBJ to Iyabo > 8 years > Iyabo to OBJ > 8 Years> OBJ to Iyabo - ad infinitum |

When you look at some of comments made by people who are willing to support this stupid bill, you will realize that it is not the politicians who are destroying Nigeria but the masses themselves who sheepishly follow and approve everything the like of GEJ proposes to them. I used to think Nigeria had intelligent people but Nairaland has made me realize that Nigeria only has unintelligent educated people. |

@all. Our problems are institutional. Any attempt at progress for Nigeria that does not involve very difficult institutional reform will just be an exercise in futility. So far, GEJ has not done one single thing that shows he is aware of of the cause of our problems . The NNPC has become the home of corruption. Why entrust it with the important duty of the turn around of our refineries when , the last time we attempted to privatize, many competent firms where queuing to buy? Selfish interest prevented the privatization of our refineries in the past and the same now holds true under GEJ also. The problem for GEJ is that what must be done to secure progress for Nigeria will go against the interests of his AGIP backers and ruinous sponsors in the "owners of Nigeria" club. It is only fools who will think the numerous AGIP backers of GEJ did not lay 'conditions' down for him that gained all the "endorsement" that led to his eventual win. Project GEJ is project AGIP and Project "business as usual". This is why we are seeing all these weird decisions from GEJ that pay homage to political expediency rather than to commonsense, sincerity or a hierarchical appraisal of what needs to be done and in what order . |

GEJ has mentioned this Tenure elongation idea before the elections. Now he has his chance. It Is up to us Nigerians to reject or accept his indecent proposal. I rest my case. |

playmode: There is a difference between being schooled and being educated. You can be educated without being schooled and in reverse you can be schooled without being educated. The vast majority of Nigerian graduates are schooled but not educated. Hence, we have ourselves in this very sad position as a country. This is the truth and it is the reason why our elites ensure that their children get educated abroad. |

I'm so disappointed in GEJ. he is a fool and he is stupid. Instead of him facing the pressing issues which are the most important thing, he's busy worrying his ass on matters that are not relevant for now. We have issues like insecurity, boko haram, unemployment, corruption etc. This shows that he is not setting his priorities right. I hope we have not voted him the wrong man. I pray we dont get badluck instead of goodluck. |

edicolove:In the recesses of your mind, is this the most important issue that needs legeslative attention? how is tenure a major national issue? how does it guarantee development at all levels? how about a bill to tackle the cost of govt which can and will have an immediate impact on the citizenry? instead of this bill whose impact is all up in conjectures. you maybe right that opponents of this bill are ignorant,the onus lies on you to educate them. |

Re: Gej Sends Tenure Elongation Bill: "i Had No Shoes : " by Ivynwa(f): 2:30pm On Jul 27, 2011 |
It was disgusting to see this in CNN, a country where others are terrorizing the whole nation with bomb blasts, where religious groups arise and fall upon others who don't believe as they do, where tribes arise and fall upon others because they want to be kings forever. A country where many are hungry, where jobless youths have given the nation bad reputation, where there is no law much more order and all this president can think about is how to elongate tenure. He seems to be forgetting that a revolution is sweeping across our world, he should be praying that the Nigerian people don't arise to revolt when he is still in power. Somebody should tell him to go to work and give order to the people because that is what he is being paid to do. |

This man GEJ is damn crazy. Boko Haram is killing everybody, there is serious epileptic power supply, the state of the nigerian roads are bad. our medical facilities are in shamble and all he can think of is tenure elongation. Does this GEJ have sense at all? me dont think so. |

Many of you here in NL try to sound like intelectuals but you are mostly ignorant peeps and armchair critics who constantly show by their posts that they have never held leadership positions. This is the best bill to pass at this time. Settling this will have a spiral effect on everything else. Electoral reform is the key to peace and stability in Nigeria and GEJ is tackling that and should be given credit for it. He has already said he wont be benefitting from it so that puts paid to any talk of him trying to elongate his stay. So that establishes it as a genuine reform. If we settle this, we have settled a major national issue that will garantee development at all levels. @ edicolove, please can you tell us on NL what the colour of GEJ's pant is 2day, cos it seems that's where u are working towards if you are not already by his backside, naw How on earth can you find words to justify this as a priority, even if this site has mumus, some of us get sense naw, Please , Please, Please. The GOOD LORD will judge them all. AMEN, Wicked Souls, and Heartless Barstards, |
Re: Gej Sends Tenure Elongation Bill: "i Had No Shoes : " by totorimi: 3:26pm On Jul 27, 2011 |
Good idea but bad timing to push for it, there is much work to be done. Tackle security, electricity, education, unemployment, road, healthcare, agriculture, inflation and then people will push his bill not you. |

When Saharareporters hinted that Jonathan would employ Abati they were abused by the apologists of GEJ. Lo and behold, it came to pass . When they stated that Jonathan would seek tenure elongation the shameless fans of GEJ wasted no time in pouring invectives on the news agency. Now it is formal. Saharareporters are now stating that they have uncovered that the single 7 year tenure is a way for GEJ to benefit from this without facing another election after having pledged only to do one term . As usual "Mr. Fix it" (Tony Anenih) is involved in this nefarious plot. Who wants to bet against Saharareporters? Their accuracy means that it may even be our First Lady who is their Aso Rock mole. For all those saying GEJ will not benefit from this tenure elongation , I call only ask you not to run your lives as naively as you view political events given how you can miss all that Nigerian political history should have made crystal clear to you. Of all the pressing issue at hand this one that will "not benefit" GEJ is the most important for him to deal with right now abi? I hail una Einstein thinking. Even the article below picks up on this: It is significant that, even before touching a single one of his mountain of electoral promises, Mr. Jonathan has chosen to unveil what one of his critics called “a selfish plan.”Nigeria will be broke and renamed Naijanistan or Niraq by the time GEJ and his callous co-traveller are done with selfish measures that can only heat up the polity further, cause more deep rancour and lead to more senseless blood-letting . http:///news-page/jonathans-single-term-proposal-scam Jonathan's Single-Term Proposal A Scam |

This govt has completely lost it. With all the myrad of problems in the country (unemployment, security, bad roads, inflation, poverty, infant motality, illiteracy, etc), all they could think of is tenure elongation. Nigerians should clap for themselves for voting in "fresh air". Mark you, this is the begining of "fresh air" for Nigerians |
Re: Gej Sends Tenure Elongation Bill: "i Had No Shoes : " by Gbawe: 3:56pm On Jul 27, 2011 |
VoodooDoll: My brother , don't mind some Nigerians. They are simply the poorest students of history on earth and this is why we keep annoyingly repeating the same mistakes as a Nation. Did OBJ ever openly agitate for third term? Instead it was 'others' "begging OBJ" to present himself because he "is the best man for the job". As saharareporters stated above , this is the first phase. Once the amendment sails through the next thing is to set the "boy without shoe" propaganda machine to work once again. We will then hear that "Jonathan must stand because his humility is holding Nigeria together" . His "mature and cool handling of security challenges" (when Nigerians are dying) is the "only way to secure peace" in Nigeria. I just don't know how a people who have suffered so much through political deciet can still remain so gullible. Simply embarrassing and pathetic . |
Re: Gej Sends Tenure Elongation Bill: "i Had No Shoes : " by POTUT(m): 3:57pm On Jul 27, 2011 |
When I heard this, I promptly diagreed with the notions it was projecting. The ONLY thing ABSOLUTELY wrong with this Bill is that it is NOT the solution to the problems raised by Mr. President! I am shocked that the calibre of Reuben Abati is strong enough to twist his own conscience into making this announcement so early in his appointment. |
