The candidate of the All
Progressives Congress in Saturday’s Bauchi South Senatorial District
bye-election, Lawal-Yahaya Gumau, has vowed that if elected into the Senate, he
will work towards an amendment of the Constitution to make President Muhammadu
Buhari president for life.
Gumau, who is currently the
member representing Toro Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives,
stated this during the closing of his campaign in Bauchi.
He admitted his only mandate for
aspiring to go to the Senate is to protect Buhari’s interest.
“I, Lawal-Yahaya Gumau, want you
to know that the mandate that will be given to me on Saturday is to go and
protect Buhari’s interest in the Senate. This is the only mandate that I will
be going to the Senate with, having fulfilled every other mandate to the best of
my ability while in the House of Representatives for eight years.
“By God’s grace, we will amend
Nigeria’s Constitution to allow Buhari to be President for the remaining years
of his life. He will only cease to be President when God takes his life.
“Obasanjo tried all his best for
the constitution to be amended to allow him go for a third term, but God didn’t
approve of it because of its lack of sincerity. What is now needed in Nigeria
is to protect Buhari’s interest and that is what we will do,” Gumau said.
Too many idiots and illiterates in politics. What a shame to think of this imbecile as a senator or house member
ReplyDeleteFor this your stupid reason, consider Buhari and his party a failure come 2019, because presidency is not anybody's inheritance, ok
ReplyDeleteThis is why we don't want old cargo's to remain in politics, does this statement make any sense at all
