2023 Election: President Buhari Speaks On Third Term Agenda

President Buhari

President Buhari has spoken on third term agenda.

Newsone reports that Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, has vowed to leave office on May 29, 2023, squashing the rumour of a third term agenda.

This online news platform understands that President Buhari’s pledge contained in a statement on Friday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.

“I swore by the Holy Qur’an that I will serve in accordance with the constitution and leave when my time is up. No “Tazarce’’ (tenure extension). I don’t want anybody to start talking about and campaigning for unconstitutional extension. I will not accept that,” Shehu quotes President Buhari as saying at a meeting in Makkah with a select group of Nigerians resident in Saudi Arabia where he just ended a visit.

The Nigerian President also tacitly expressed support to efforts to increase the role of technology in the nation’s elections, arguing that the introduction of the card reader and electronic register was God’s answer to his prayers, having been cheated of his victory in three previous elections.

“After the third so-called defeat, I said, ‘God Dey’. My opponents laughed at me but God answered my prayers by bringing in technology. At that point, nobody can steal their votes or buy them,” the President added.

The President, who ended his visit to the Kingdom with the Friday Prayers at the Grand Mosque in Makkah said he will continue to abide by the constitution in all its ramifications and he will at all times supervise and deal with his ministers on same basis.

He gave assurances at the meeting that in the balance of “eighteen months or so of my time left, whatever I can do to improve the life of Nigerians, I will do it for the country.”

President Buhari commended diaspora Nigerians in the Kingdom for representing the country well and projecting its good image.

Newsone Nigeria reports that President also used the opportunity to urge citizens at home to be fair to his administration at all times, asking the critics to compare the security situations in the North East and South South in 2015 and how things have improved as at now.

“My problem is the North West where people are killing and stealing from one another. I had to be very hard on them and I will continue to be very hard until we put them in line and bring back order,” he said.

President Buhari urged Nigerians living in the country to respect the laws, remain law-abiding and do nothing to derogate from the many years of friendly and mutually beneficial relationships between the two countries.
