The Call For Buhari's Resignation Is To Make Osinbajo A One-term President by mrrandomguy: 8:35am On Apr 14, 2022
An individual can only be sworn-in into the office of the president twice.
If Buhari resigns, then Osinbajo will be sworn in as the president. But If he wins the coming election in 2023 he will not be able to run again for another 4-year term, thereby making it possible for power to return to the North in 2027. This is the plan.

The same people are planning to woo Goodluck Jonathan to contest so that they can get power back in 2027.

Buhari has been a failure since 2015 but these northern elites have never called for his resignation. Even the endsars protest was criticised by them as a plot to remove Buhari. So why is the north calling for his resignation now?

Fear north.

Fear which North? Even if Buhari resigns it will be counted as Buhari regime not Osinbajo.

A person can only be sworn in twice when his term his duly served, as it is Jonathan can come for a second term.

If the North are good players they should opt for POI as he is one person who believe in the Nigeria concept and can bring about drastic change in virtually all regions of this country but NO they are looking for how and who will serve their Islamic agenda like Pantami is doing.

I agree. When Johnathan was sworn in as the president, after the demise of Yaradua. He finished Yaradua's term, campaigned and worn his first term election. He campaigned again for reelection for 2nd term and lost. Reason why he can contest again for the presidency if he wishes to do so.

If Buhari resigns today, Osinbajo will first finish his (Buhari's) term and then serve for additional 8 years.

When was it amended do you have references. For the constitution to be amended the National Assembly has to pass the amendment and that amendment has to pass 24 State Houses of Assembly
I remember it at the National Assembly. Did it actually pass the State Houses of Assembly? When did that happen?

You did not answer my question

Simple question yes or No did the bill pass 24 State Houses of Assembly


If you do not know say so.

Constitutional change does not require presidential assent
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/08/constitutional-amendment-requires-no-presidential-assent/


So Changing constitution cannot happen just at the Federal level by a bill signed by the President

That is a nullity

This is what the Constitution says
http://www.nigeria-law.org/ConstitutionOfTheFederalRepublicOfNigeria.htm#Powers_of_Federal_Republic_of_Nigeria
9. (1) The National Assembly may, subject to the provision of this section, alter any of the provisions of this Constitution.

(2) An Act of the National Assembly for the altertion of this Constitution, not being an Act to which section 8 of this Constitution applies, shall not be passed in either House of the National Assembly unless the proposal is supported by the votes of not less than two-thirds majority of all the members of that House and approved by resolution of the Houses of Assembly of not less than two-thirds of all the States.

(3) An Act of the National Assembly for the purpose of altering the provisions of this section, section 8 or Chapter IV of this Constitution shall not be passed by either House of the National Assembly unless the proposal is approved by the votes of not less than four-fifths majority of all the members of each House, and also approved by resolution of the House of Assembly of not less than two-third of all States.

(4) For the purposes of section 8 of this Constitution and of subsections (2) and (3) of this section, the number of members of each House of the National Assembly shall, notwithstanding any vacancy, be deemed to be the number of members specified in sections 48 and 49 of this Constitution.

Here we go. So na today some Northerners have been asking Buhari to resign?

And for your chickening mind, Buhari will resign when he has less than a year to go

I know that as long as the president signed a bill it means that it has passed through all the requirements .
So yes the bill pass 2/3 of the state house of Assembly

No you assume. I am asking for factual confirmation with a source did that happen. Yes or no

If yes provide a source or did it happen in secret?

The point is the president's signature is not necessary for constitutional amendment . Whether or not he signs makes no difference
Why? there is clear stipulation for the president to veto a law by withholding assent. and the National Assembly can overrule that veto by a prescribed process


He has no role in constitutional amendment. Constitutional amendment is very different

To say that before the president signs it must have followed due process is an assumption
