Prez Obasanjo on to a 3rd Term?
The Nigerian President is hell-bent on going for a third term. Despite the sectarian violence and the anarchy in the Niger-Delta, the Nigerian Constitutional Committee, the machinery that would enable President Obasanjo's third term, is already in motion."...The Nigerian Constitutional Committee (I’m not sure if this is a committee set up by the government) deemed it wise to commence public hearings on constitutional reforms in Nigeria this week...These hearings are purportedly to gather opinion on many proposed changes to the 1999 constitution, but high on the list is the number of terms the President and the 36 state governors should serve...Whatever the ulterior motive of these hearings, the timing shows a serious disconnect between the government and the governed."--EthnicLoft
