Jonathan’s Talks On Single Tenure Unfortunate – Prof. Elaigwu Wonders they say shall never end, With impeachment smiling to President Good luck Jonathan, he still go ahead agitating for a six or seven year’s single tenure.
Professor Isawa Eliagwu has branded President Goodluck Jonathan’s talks on the proposed six years single tenure for all political Chief Executive Officers in the country as an unfortunate one.
Eliagwu made this known today at the Senate review of the constitution amendment retreat in Asaba, Delta State. He stated that the Obasanjo and Yar’Adua’s administration made it impossible for Nigerians to believe in Jonathan’s proposal. “Unfortunately President Obasanjo and President Yar’Adua have made the office of the Chief Executives so politicize that people don’t want to hear anything about it” “It’s a pity that Jonathan came in and immediately started talking about a six or seven year’s single tenure, I think it’s unfortunate” The Professor of law while delivering his memorandum suggested a five year single tenure for all political CEO in the country.
“Any leader who cannot deliver his promises made in five years is inept, six or seven years tenure for many Nigerians is too long” “I also suggest that any office holder currently serving as a chief executive shall benefit from the single tenure” He also mentioned that the electoral process should be of paramount consideration to the Nigerian government.
“We should as a country ensures that people are sworn in only when their cases have been vacated, which means elections must finish in good time so that when they resume to the office they know they are there for real”. On immunity clause he stated that political office holders should be allowed immunity only on civil cases.
“Public officers should have immunity but only on civil cases and not on criminal cases because it will waste their time” “Criminal matters may amount to gross misconduct”
The former Vice Chancellor worried about the future of the Judiciary in the country as he complained about the employability of Law graduates the country is producing.

Whatever happened to the four years single term that is entrenched in the constitution, or has the constitution been annulled ??, if not, He should finish the four years first, then the citizens will deliver a political mandate, based on his performance , Either by election or referendum, That's my position !!!

GEJ u're greedy, only you want 7years tenure u're nothing but son of a bitch. You're still battling with your 4years tenure, u've not make any single positive impact since, still u're still claiming 6 / 7years tenure. Before claiming this 7years of a thing resolve the issue of boko haram and Insecurity first. The situation of this nation is anomaly and Lugubrious. Bastard.
