Ahead of the 2015 Presidential elections, Governor Musa Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano state has warned that President Goodluck Jonathan is not qualified to contest for presidency in 2015 as any attempt by the to run in the next poll will amount to a third term in office, which is not acceptable to most Nigerians.
Kwankwaso said,"Jonathan is not qualified to contest election again in 2015 going by the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution. Third term is not acceptable to any part of Nigeria and the time limit stipulated must be respected by all Nigerians. I am sure Nigerians will kick against a third term whether by Jonathan or by any other person in this country.
"Mr. President would have completed his eight years in office by 2015. He served as Vice President for two years, Acting President for two years and is doing another four years, which will terminate in 2015.
"But those advising the President are pretending that his tenure started in 2011. I saw them on television the other day trying to argue in that direction, but they can never be correct. I am not a lawyer, but I know that two plus four plus six can never be eight.
He advised President Jonathan to take urgent steps to solve the raging insecurity challenges in the North-East and stabilize the Nigerian economy and take a bow from governance in 2015.
