Osinbajo Will Not Be Allowed To Replace Buhari In 2019 - Northern Elders Forum by faseblex(f): 5:56pm On May 17, 2017 |
![]() The Northern Elders Forum has maintained that the North must retain the presidency if Buhari's failing health prevents him from seeking re-election in 2019. While speaking in an exclusive interview with New Telegraph, the spokesman of Northern Elders Forum (NEF), Professor Ango Abdullahi, disclosed that should President Muhammadu Buhari’s failing health prevents him from seeking re-election in 2019, the North must retain the presidency. The elder statesman stressed that the region must be allowed to field a presidential candidate through the All Progressives Congress (APC), in 2019 should Buhari fail to seek re-election. He said in the situation of any eventuality, the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo should be allowed to complete the current tenure but will not be allowed to contest in 2019. Abdullahi said, “The constitutional provision says that in the event that the president dies in office or becomes incapacitated for one reason or the other and cannot perform the duties of his office, he will be succeeded by the Vice president. “But no one is in a position to know at what point he is going to recover fully and come back to office, or whether the unexpected could happen. The northern elders insist that Osinbajo cannot replace Buhari in 2019 “If the worst case scenario happens, and Buhari is not back on seat, the constitution is very clear that the vice president takes over. “And what we then expect is that he will take that tenure to its logical end and from there, the politics of power sharing will take precedence over anything else. “When the unexpected happens, in 2019 we will be back to our position that the north should be treated equitably and fairly. And we expect that another northern candidate will emerge as presidential candidate on the platform of APC.” Abdullahi lamented that the north is still marginalized in spite of the fact that Buhari is president. “To be fair and truly honest, I will say that yes, our expectations have been far above what we saw on ground. Meaning that what we were expecting from this government in terms of equity and justice to the north has not materialized up till now,” he said. According to him, the North is still being cheated in spite of the fact that one of its own is president. “For example, if you look at both the 2016 and 2017 budgets, if you combine capital and recurrent expenditures for both years, the North took roughly 30 per cent in spite of the fact that everybody knows that even if it’s by one per cent, the north is more populated than the South. Even in terms of landmass, the North constitutes 75 per cent of the landmass of this country,” he pointed out. The NEF spokesman blamed Buhari for giving key ministries in his administration to southerners “who don’t feel shy of looking after themselves first before the North, even if it’s on second thoughts.” Abdullahi said that some of the projects that should improve the living standard in the North have been abandoned even by this administration. “Take, for example, the Mambila Power Project, the dredging of River Niger, the Ajaokuta Steel and so on. Of course, you can also blame past northern leaders who were in power when these projects were just brushed SOURCE: http://trendzbase..com/2017/05/osinbajo-will-not-be-allowed-to-replace.html 3 Likes |

Are we approaching another beginning of the end? The north should thread softly. Yorubas are the reason this country is still one. Any rift with the west marks the end. 338 Likes 15 Shares |

Dumb animals who do not know when it is wise to speak what. I respect old people no matter how annoying they’re being. But you see, Ango Abdullahi and his cohort always talk stupid. Of all the things he has been saying since I was old enough to think for myself, I can count on one hand the number of times he has made sense. He has shiiit crazy opinions on everything. He thinks that by the virtue of having lived through the era of northern hegemony, he can talk however much trash he likes. On top of losing physical abilities, the man seems to have lost logical abilities too. When it's them ruling, the Hausa/Fulani pretend not to understand the concept of taking turns. Now, all of a sudden they know the concept better than everyone else. The thing I hate about these puerile, profoundly useless northern old guard, is that they demand to have their problem seen to immediately as if addressing their maids. From giving ultimatums to issuing threats, and now this? Who the fu#k do they think they are to decide who gets what? If Osibanjo decides to contest today, he'll win, and there's nothing you bastards can do about it. Hella annoying and idiotic fellows! Whoever made them the mouthpiece of the people. 115 Likes 12 Shares |

Built2last: Very apt by you. Imagine the Mr Elder saying the North claims 75% of naijaland and so they are born to rule it. lols. Well they were an entity before amalgamation with the South that is autonomous economically. Besides, the South did not beg to go with the North. The elderman should be asked if the North is equally responsible for 75% of Nigeria's income generation. 50 Likes 1 Share |

"Edited" If the North forcefully decide to put a running mate in presidential position against the VP, am afraid the ticket will not sell. Their coerce strategies for the VP to resign will end up hunting them but this is when he (the VP) should remain resolute and allow justice play it's course. Indeed the cabals are crawling out from their caves knowing their master does not have the wilt to continue. Note: I don't expect less from some people saying it's master-slave fight but they don't know this is pure politics at play as one or two of their people will b involved no matter what. 3 Likes 1 Share |
