DailyPost:
After Buhari’s second term, Osinbajo should serve as President for two terms – El-Badawy

While many Nigerians may still be seeing the next election cycle as far away, a former member of the House of Representatives from Yobe State, Alhaji Hassan El-Badawy has averred that President Muhammadu Buhari must be allowed to stay in office for two terms.

He added that after the President must have finished his second tenure in 2023, Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo should be allowed to take over from him and serve for another two tenures, stressing that it’s the only way the duo can exhaust the good programmes they have lined up for Nigerians.

El-Badawy, who made these assertions in an interview with Daily Trust, argued that, “For me, for Buhari to do a second term is a must. Then his vice needs to be given the chance to do two terms too so that they can exhaust all their plans for Nigeria.

“They have good programmes lined up for this nation and Nigerians should give them the chance to change the state of this nation.”

Justifying what informed his position, the erstwhile lawmaker said, “their party (APC) was formed barely a year ago. Buhari came in and started correcting the wrongs; you need lots of time and efforts to look into a lot of things.

“Let us take for example, the corruption issue, we need to investigate because arms deal was not an issue for the previous government, it was when he was about to take over that this arms deal came to the surface. We have other sectors like MDAs that need to be looked into. He cannot finish these things in just one term. It is a very serious issue that government needs to take care of the future.

“The situation we have on ground requires Buhari to have another term after the current one to consolidate before he can hand over.”

El-Badawy ended by saying: “The vice president is there, others are there and they can take over after he has done his second term. But the issue of Buhari stepping aside for others to take over is not the best.”

Over the dead body of SS and SE for Osinbajo to rule this country. Northerners shall continue to rule Nigeria till eternity or we get our country. We don't like one Nigeria but as long as Northerners rule, we are okay with it.

You were inconsequential in making PMB the president, you will likely be inconsequential in detrmining who succeeds him.

Knowledge9000:


Mumu...you think Osinbajo will win if APC adopted him...yoruba, and PDP adopted a Northerner? You go see sheygey...Northerners only vote fellow Northerners.

loopman:

In your own dictionary, OBJ was a northerner.
The problem with you people is short memory and you think everyone easily forget like you do.
Northerners will definitely vote a Fashola if he performs relatively well in his current assignment, they don't reason nor play politics of hatred and vengeance like you play, which has brought you to this unviable political position you are.

OfoIgbo:
SE and SS voted for OBJ.

Osibanjo, or indeed any other Yoruba will have a herculean task convincing the SE and SS to ever vote for any SWesterner again
Even Fayose or Mimiko may not be able to get it.

On 28th March 2015, things changed, and definitely not to the benefit of SW. Akwa Ibom and Rivers states judgement shoukd be a pointer as to where the south is politically
Yorubas are huge orphans now. They don't know it until they try to run for presidency.

The SE and SS will dust up Sanni Abacha's son and have him run under PDP. The north will always vote for their son

Knowledge9000:

Mumu...read my analysis. If not for SS and SE supporting Obasanjo, he would not have been elected and reelected.

loopman:


But you didn't support PMB and be went on to win. By history and antecedents, you always support ANYONE in power.
Your politics of HATE and VEGEANACE failed you then and will also fail you in future

Knowledge9000:


That's what I'm trying to explain to you, If a Northerner run, he will win if at least SW or SE/SS supports him. Meaning, his Northern vote block is already assured but he needs one of either SS/SE or SW. Now with a Southerner running, HE CAN NEVER WIN WITHOUT SS AND SE. That's my point!

LesbianBoy:
God punish him, buhari and osibanjo

INTROVERT:
After Osibanjo finish his terms, Rochas, Ngige or my father should have their turn next.
