After several denials of seeking a third term in office, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has accused governors of also seeking third term, IGBERETV reports.
Speaking during an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the former president blamed some governors as the ones behind the third term agenda.
“The governors, some of them, were doing it for themselves. Because if the president did a third term, they too would have had a chance for a third term,” Obasanjo said while responding to question on his failed third term bid.
In 2006, a bill to amend the 1999 constitution and extend term limits by another four years, failed to pass at the National Assembly.
Ken Nnamani, the Senate President of the 5th National Assembly had declared that lawmakers in the 5th National Assembly, “sacrificed” their legislative careers after seeing to the truncation of the controversial third term bid.
