Now that Buhari has put third term to rest, time for advocates to quit —Sani

A former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, has urged those behind the third term plot for President to jettison the idea.

President Buhari had said at Friday’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that he won’t make the mistake of pursuing a third term agenda.

He said: “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.”

Reacting to the President’s declaration on his official twitter handle—@ShehuSani —he wrote: “The King hath said no additional term: let there be no reception and audience for the campaigners in the palace, let no man around the throne say he should ‘answer the call of the people’ and let no palace Priests and Clerics say ‘he should answer the call of God.”
