Presidency Describes Falana As Failed Politician, Full Of Lies

The Presidency said that Falana, “has boarded the free-publicity train, full of those seeking personal media attention in claiming the president is planning a third term in office. All and every claim that is made that suggest President Muhammadu Buhari will stand for a third term in office is false.”

A statement by the spokesman of the President, Malam Garba Shehu, emphasized that the President had since October 2 personally debunked the idea of a  third term.
The statement referred specifically to such presidential denial or otherwise, saying that the President had said: “The Presidency wishes to correct internet-based gossip and uninformed media commentary regarding presidential term limits, given credence by so-called support groups, staging street demonstrations asking President Muhammadu Buhari to do a third term.
“There are no circumstances – nor set of circumstances – under which President Buhari may seek to amend the Constitution regarding the two-term term limit on holding office as President.
“President Buhari intends to serve his full second elected term in office, ending 2023 – and then there shall be a general election in which he will not be a candidate.
“There is not even the faintest possibility that this will change.
“It is important to note that there was a past attempt to change the Constitution to allow for the then incumbent president to stand for a third term. That attempt was wrong, unconstitutional – and rightly rebuffed. No such attempt will happen under this President.”
The statement said that President Buhari is a democrat and that respects the Constitution.
“Any activity aimed at altering the two-term limit will not succeed and shall never have his time nor support.”
It made clear that the President will have nothing more to say on this matter, adding: “apart from the repeat of this statement, ad infinitum – that he will not be seeking, accepting, nor standing for a third term.”
