Presidency: No Vacancy In 2019 — APC by TalkItAll: 7:31am On Mar 24, 2016 |
ABUJA — There will be no vacancy in the
Presidency in 2019, members of the National
Caucus of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
declared on Tuesday night in a seeming lure to
President Muhammadu Buhari to seek a
second term.
The national caucus, comprising serving and
former governors, the National Assembly
leadership, and selected members of the
national executive of the party, at the meeting
said the endorsement of President Buhari for a
second term would help to stabilise the polity
in the face of what members described as the
16-year rot inherited from Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP.
Meanwhile, the national chairman of the party,
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has dismissed
insinuations of a threat against his position,
just as the caucus, Tuesday night, constituted a
committee to resolve all pending issues in the
party.
One of the issues agreed on at the meeting,
Vanguard learned yesterday, was that President
Buhari should be given opportunity to seek a
second term. Though the issue of a second
term for the President was generally agreed,
caucus members, however, also agreed that it
would be too early in the day to kick start a
second term campaign for the President.
Vanguard learned that the issue was brought
up as a way of resting restiveness among
some party leaders, who have been divided
over their various aspirations for 2019.
The positioning by different party leaders on
2019 has been blamed for the problems that
led to the crisis in the National Assembly and
also the inability of the party to inaugurate its
Board of Trustees, BoT, till date.
“With Buhari contesting in 2019, those who
have been squabbling will now have to queue
up behind him and put the interest of the party
ahead,” a source privy to the development
revealed yesterday.
Remarkably, leading senators in the party on
Tuesday night met in Abuja where they also
pledged to unify themselves in the face of the
prospect of losing their influence to the more
united PDP caucus.
Odigie-Oyegun dismisses threat to his office
Meanwhile, Odigie-Oyegun speaking to
reporters at the end of the caucus meeting on
Tuesday night dismissed reports of pressures
on him to resign his office.
He said: “I am not aware that my office is
under threat. I led the party to the State House.
It amazes me, occasionally it annoys me. That
is one of the things you have to endure when
you are in a position like mine."
Noting the trend of the meeting, Odigie-Oyegun
said that a committee had been constituted to
resolve all the crises in the party.
Speaking on the performance of his party’s
government almost one year after taking over
power, the national chairman pleaded for time
on the part of Nigerians. He said the
government would come on full stream when
the 2016 budget is passed. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/03/presidency-no-vacancy-2019-apc/

Well,Buhari staying in power by 2019 is a function of his 1st term performance bt I most commend this ppl for sticking together to achieve their goal and still remaining together this is an example of how Nigerians should be by putting our difference e.g ethnicity aside to make our country a better place |

I do not think 2nd term should be the focus right now considering the economic situation on ground. Why not focus on the economy or they want to start campaign now now? |

Instead of them to think of how to fulfill their campaign promises they are busy thinking of winning 2019 election. What happened to APC in Rivers STATE would still happen to APC in 2019 . 2 Likes |
