Sani Al’ameen Disagrees With Falana Over Jonathan’s Eligibility by Nemere2020: 1:49pm On Apr 30, 2022
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Bauchi gubernatorial aspirant, Sani Al’ameen has faulted the statement of Senior lawyer, Femi Falana, in which he said former President Goodluck Jonathan is ineligible to contest for the office of the President because he has been sworn into office twice.

Falana had based his assertion on section 137 (3) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).

However, in a statement shared with journalists on Friday, Al’ameen disagreed with Falana, saying that the law does not apply to Jonathan because it was enacted after he had been sworn in twice.

He explained that the first tenure of late President Umaru Yar’adua which he completed will not be counted as part of his tenure because it was originally Yar ‘adua’s mandate.

“It is wrong to say that Jonathan is disqualified from contesting the 2023 presidential election just for the simple reason that if he wins the election he will spend an additional term of four years. Let me take you a bit back. Former Governor of Yobe State, Ibrahim Geidam completed the first tenure of the late Mamman Ali and he contested the election twice and won without hindrance of any kind from anybody.

“Jonathan who comes from the south introduced and spent billions of naira as education intervention and build hundreds of tsangaya Schools for the benefit of all Almajiri children who were neglected by the previous leaders, both military and civilians.

“He did all this work in the interest of one nation, for that we are still calling him to come out and contest for president in 2023. We want Nigerians to support him to enable him to continue with the good work he started, especially addressing the socio-economic and security challenges bedevilling the country,” he said.

Trust politicians at your own peril. Those guys can do/say anything for power. I can’t blame them, the electorates are not ready for the real change

This news just dey vex me, the north don see the south finish for them to be asking Jonathan to come back after 8 years of doing nonsense with power that they were so desperate for, and it's not as if they like Jonathan, they just see him as a weakling that can be trusted to hand it back to them after 4 years because they never believed he was going to hand it over to them so easily in 2015, reason why they brought in terrorists and bandits to fight in 2015.

I just pity any southerner cutting political deals with the north without the intention of breaking the country at their back.

I support him.
So if you complete your principal's term even if it is just 2 weeks, that will debar you from contesting your own twice? That can't be right.

The vice president in such scenario will prefer not to be swear in. He will prefer to just continue in acting position

Nigerians and unnecessary noise. As if APC will be dumb enough to give Jona-daft their ticket.
Some lazy unimaginative olodo journalists will just be chasing infantile childish stories for the gullible Nigerians. Smh

2023 ELECTION IS FAST APPROACHING. YOUTHS OF NIGERIA, PLZ THINK ON THIS

Gov* *Ganduje* of Kano's daughter married *Gov* *Ajimobi* of Oyo's son!
Yes *bro* , Dangote's Daughter married former IGP *Mohammed's* son!
*Bros* ! *Buhari's* daughter married the richest man's son from *Borno* *State* .
*Abike* *Dabiri* , former lawmaker and now special adviser to the president on foreign matters is now an inlaw to *Gov* . *Ibikunle* *Amosun* , governor of Ogun State.
Let me inform you again that, *Prof* *Yemi* *Osibanjo's* daughter was taken to the same kind of home marrying the son of one of the richest black *women* in *Nigeria*
*Buhari's son married the daughter of Emir and over 100 private jets came for the marriage but you were not invited.
Their children study *abroad* , start work *abroad* , get married *abroad* , go to hospitals *abroad* , treat headache and cough *abroad* , give birth abroad, establish businesses *abroad* , go for vacation *abroad* , etc

Yet, they come out later to give you guns, machete, axes and few thousands of naira to cut your fellow *brothers* *down* in the name of *election* . Believe me, they will be coming to you again *come2023
*Bros* ! If u are only good as *political* *thugs* , ballot box *snatchers* , and not as an *in-law* to them, then u have *Problem* .
# *UseYourBrain*
Forward to every *Youth* you know.

Saraki is working for Atiku, his sister Gbemi is working for Buhari

Obasanjo is working for Atiku, his son Juwon is working for Buhari

Okupe is working for Atiku, his son is working for Buhari

Galadima is working for Atiku, his daughter is working for Buhari

You are sons and daughters of none of these, you are their Defenders on social media.

When CBN job is vacant, they give their children

When FIRS job is vacant, they give their children

When NNPC, NLG, NPA, NIMASA, NCC etc jobs are out, they give to their children

They marry their children off to one another to create future leaders for you the social media Defenders

But when police recruitment form is out, that is public

When civil defence job is out, they give that to you.

When their children crash a car or bike, they fly them to Germany

When their children need good education, they fly them to UK, US, Canada

When your children fall sick, you take them to churches, mosques

When your children are sent out of school, you send them to labour camps - hawking

ASUU, ASUP, NASU, NLC, SARS, STRIKES are yours to battle with in Nigeria

If you think you are doing anybody fighting for these folks, take a look at the mirror and the image you see there is he that you are deceiving - yourself

If you don't use your brain, someone else will use it for you
Be wise enough my brothers and sisters!!
I can only hope this will RESET "Our" BRAINS. God bless you all.

Same "clueless Jonathan" of just yesterday has become the coveted bride of the north. GEJ needs to warn those uncircumcised Illiterate pigs to keep his name out of their gworo chewing mouth. Illiterates trying to be clever by half all because of power. Same power they have had for 7 years with nothing on ground to show but they want to keep holding on it.
