APC’s Oshiomhole Reveals Who Is Behind Buhari’s 3rd Term Rumours

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of been behind rumours of President Muhammadu Buhari third term bid.

He disclosed this while speaking to State House correspondents after meeting with President Buhari on Thursday.

The APC Chairman said the main opposition party planted the third term propaganda.

Oshiomhole said: “I am surprised to see that there are people who begin to wonder why should the President reassure Nigerians that he is not going to do the third term in office… the third term was planted by PDP.

“It is still in the sub-consciousness of most Nigerians that the first (sic) Nigerian president tried to do third term, emptied the treasury to bribe members of the national assembly and since that president left, thanks to the national assembly, no other next president has done eight years in office.

“You can recall that President Yar’Adua, unfortunately, has since joined his ancestors, and President Jonathan did six years and so by the special grace of God, this President (Buhari) whom we pray will do his eight years complete in line with the provision of the constitution.

“And because there is a level of idleness within a section of the political class people can sponsor all kinds of publications and give doubt whether or not the President is planning to stay longer.

“And I think it is his decision that at every interval he needs to remind Nigerians that he is not about to do what a PDP President did. For me it is necessary and in any case it costs us nothing to reassure us that ‘I am leaving’.”
