3rd Term Agenda: Presidency Lambast Femi Falana (Read Press Statement)

The popularly acclaimed human rights lawyer and formerly unsuccessful opposition candidate for governor of Ekiti state, Femi Falana, has boarded the free-publicity train, full of those seeking personal media attention in claiming the president is planning a third term in office.

To repeat: All and every claim that is made that suggest President Muhammadu Buhari will stand for a third term in office is false.

To reiterate, the President reminds all of those who wish it were otherwise, whether because they want a third term, or because they seek to make false claims for the purposes of their own publicity of the statement made on 2nd October 2019, which is repeated in full, below:

“The Presidency wishes to correct internet-based gossip and uninformed 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."

The President will have nothing more to say on this matter - apart from to repeat this statement, ad infinitum - that he will not be seeking, accepting, nor standing for a third term.

Buhari should remain in power till he yamutu gaskiya.
Buhari! Allah ba musa

The 6 term tenure bill has been quashed by the Reps..

FG should have ignored Falana.. SAN disgracing himself

They don’t need to defend 3rd agenda it won’t happen

Not even falana would stop buhari if he so want 3rd term. The major general has rubber stamp NASS leaders already, wetin remain again

Its not possible they won’t dare it even if they are rubber stamping everything
It’s a very sensitive issue and it’s beyond their power

Unwa

This is not a matter of rubber stamping.

Buhari has no intention of running for office a 3rd time .

Nigerians love idle talk and gossip.

Always dreaming the worst possibilities and gunning to make it happen.

Do something productive with your lives.

The part in bold is unnecessary. Buhari himself contested unsuccessfully three times before he got lucky the fourth time.

The outright denial of a third term ambition is a welcome development. Hopefully, the purveyors of the phantom third term plan can now let the matter rest. Buhari is not interested in a third term in office. Period!

I dont blame mr falana i think its because some1 said that any bill or request brought to d national assembly by presiden buhari will be approve without hesitation. Falana could be seeing d future.

General buhari and his media minions have now completely gone mad

As long as the Presidency denies it, the allegation is true.
They don't deny lies, that's how they operate lately.
