BREAKING: Buhari plotting third term in office – HURIWA 

Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of plotting third term in office.

This came following the extension of the tenure of the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Mohammed Adamu.

Recall that Adamu was expected to retire penultimate weeks ago but Buhari extended his tenure by three months.

The development, HURIWA claims is a third term agenda.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Monday, Emmanuel Onwubiko, HURIWA’s National Coordinator, claimed that if the President could extend the IGP’s tenure, he can as well extend his own.

“The extension of the tenure of the Inspector General of Police is illegal and we completely support the Nigerian Bar Association for their courage to proceed to a court of competent jurisdiction to challenge this illegality that has been committed by Mr. President.

“People are too tired to talk if not Nigerians should be on the streets by now protesting. We say the NBA must not be discouraged in this case and any judge that delays the matter is an enemy of Nigeria.

“We have an IG that should have quietly gone to his house having served the country for 35 years. We have police act that was signed by the President in 2020 in a cleat language. And the National Assembly is quiet.

“There is fire on the mountain. And some of you…some Nigerians are quiet. This could be a prelude to a third term gambit. If a President can extend the tenure of the IG he can as well extend his own tenure and these puppets we have in the National Assembly will do nothing.”
