Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Muhammed, has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term ambition, saying it was an irrational decision. Punch reports
Muhammed said, “Unless Nigerian politics can mature and graduate beyond the level of identity politics, we will always have problem. The assumption that anyone in the office of the president must serve for two terms is absolutely irrational and baseless. A leader, even if he spends a term or half a term and performs, should have no problem seeking re -election.
“It becomes disappointing that this is the level where we are. Nigerians must say, look, we shun identity and ethnic politics. That is my hope in 2019. A man, who has not done much for his first term, to start talking about a second term is the most irrational thing I can imagine.”
