I Don’t Have Third Term Agenda In Mind-Buhari

By Bimbo Ogunnaike

President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerians that he had no intention of staying in power more than two terms stipulated by  the Nigerian Constitution.

Buhari declared on Friday that he won’t make the mistake of attempting to pursue a third term agenda as being speculated in some quarters.

Speaking at the ongoing National Executive Council meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Abuja, Buhari  explained that both age and the country’s constitution prevent him from seeking a third term,The Cable report

“I’m not going to make the mistake of attempting a third term. Besides the age, I swore by the Holy Book that I would go by the constitution and the constitution said two terms. I know that I’m in my last term and I can afford to be reckless because I’m not going to ask for anybody’s vote.”

This is coming at a time when the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Legal Adviser, Emmanuel Enoidem,  had alleged that Buhari was hatching a third term and Islamisation agenda by using the instrument of the hate speech bill.

Enoidem had said Buhari will use the bill against those who will criticize his third term and alleged Islamization of Nigeria’s agenda.
