I have noticed many party fans shouting Buhari/GMB till 2019. Why not till 2023. Is he not going for 8yrs or does it align with the argument(from dailypost below) that he has a terminal illness and may not last/survive for more than his first tenure?


I know death is a sure event for everyone; myself inclusive. But using his illness in the political permutation(if that is true) may not serve the country well.

My Reasons
a. If he does not enjoy 8 yrs to the reason of death(even if it is natural), it will cause more tension in the land because the NORTH will again start agitating for power and their tenure completion. We dont need this confusion again in the land.

b. Power will again remain in the South more than it is morally okay. It will be cheating with regards to power rotation.

c. This will set a bad precedence in the land. VP and President will start having issues which may lead to impeachment of VP from other regions after the election is won to ensure power does not shift to other region should the President die.

d. I support power rotation to ensure a peaceful coexistence of citizens in this our multi-ethnic and multi-religious country.

These are just my personal opinion and may not be totally correct. All views are allowed.
