President Muhammadu Buhari on
Sunday assured that he respects the constitution of Nigeria.
He said he was a honourable
person who would not go against the laws of the land after winning a second
tenure in office.
Buhari spoke at a meeting with
the royal fathers in the Government House, Zamfara, on Sunday,
The President said he was
contesting this election as his fifth and the last.
“A second term is what the
constitution allows, and I will not abuse the constitution”, Garba Shehu,
Senior Special Assistant on Media & Publicity quoted him as saying.
He thanked the royal fathers for
the support he enjoyed so far and appealed to them to back his re-election.
The Chairman of the council of
traditional rulers and Emir of Anka, Alhaji Attahiru Ahmed and the Governor,
Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar, praised the efforts of the President in
changing the unwanted security situation in the state.
According to the governor, “From
the presence of an ammunition depot manned by just 30 men when you took office
in 2015, Zamfara State today boasts of the presence of 4,700 combined security
personnel who are assisted by 8,500 State Joint Task Force, SJTF members. We
also have the 223 Battalion, the 607 Quick Response Battalion and the 1 Brigade
in Gusau.”
The council of traditional rulers
also endorsed President Buhari’s bid for a second term.
But you have already disregarded the constitution by suspending the Chief Justice of Nigeria when you have absolutely no powers to do claiming it was recommended by code of conduct. How? My prayer is that you will return to Daura where you belong. You cannot come and be our president with people in the shadows ruling through you. Abegiiii
