The Minister of State for Power, Hon. Mohammed Wakil, has called on the people of the North not to settle for a Muhammad Buhari's single tenure in office as president, insisting that if they wait till 2019 the people of the region would be guaranteed a two-term uninterrupted reign.
He said a vote for Buhari is a sure signal that the North will only have four years at the helm, adding that "the North will lose the opportunity of having two terms of presidency unless the zone backs the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Addressing youth and women leaders after the successful campaign rally for President Jonathan in Maiduguri, the minister alerted the people of the North that General Buhari had promised to serve for only one term, and warned that a vote for Buhari is a vote for return of presidency to South West in 2019.
According to Wakil ,"Instead of voting for a man who will short-change the North and deny it of a two-term presidency, we believe it is in the best interest of the North to support President Jonathan.
"General Buhari said he will serve only one term if elected. So Pastor Osinbajo will take over in 2019. The North should allow President Jonathan to complete a new term in 2019 so that the North can rule till 2027."
