How we prevented Obasanjo’s third term bid — Thabo Mbeki

71

Former South African President, Thabo Mbeki, said yesterday that he and former Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar worked against the third term bid of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Recall that the former President’s third term bid was thwarted by the Senate led by Ken Nnamani.

Speaking virtually at a conference held in Abuja on Thursday, Mbeki narrated his role alongside Abubakar in standing against the proposed constitutional amendment during Obasanjo’s tenure, according to the cable.

He said after putting a call through to Obasanjo to voice his discontent on the proposal, he agreed with Abubakar to “intervene against the constitutional amendment.”

Mbeki said:  “As a privilege to reiterate the commitment of General Abubakar to democracy in Nigeria in 2006, more than five years after he had handed over powers to Olusegun Obasanjo, the constitution on whose basis president Obasanjo was elected described a two-term limit for the head of state, and since he (Obasanjo) had been elected for the second time, this meant that he would end his term in 2007,” the second post-apartheid president of South Africa said.

“But some time before, in 2005, a campaign began in Nigeria to amend the constitution to allow for three presidential terms. This developed to a point that the draft of the proposed amendment had been presented to the Nigerian parliament as papers.

“When I heard about this development, I engaged Obasanjo to communicate my unease at the proposal. In the end, I discussed it with General Abubakar, and we agreed that the proposed amendment was undesirable. We shared the view that the amendment must be avoided at all costs. We were of one mind that it spells bad both for Nigeria and the rest of the continent, tampering with and compromising our democratic system, which is just a few years old.  We agreed to add our voices to those kicking against the amendment. We agreed that Abdulsalami would follow the situation in Nigeria closely and indicate to me when we should intervene against the constitutional amendment. I was very pleased when he called that the Nigerian senate has voted against the amendment.”

He added that the development made him realize Abdulsalam’s influence as “a defender of democratic order and the peace and unity of Nigeria, as well as the welfare of all its people.”

    One more thing. It’s my opinion that there are lots of travel insurance sites of dependable companies than enable you to enter your journey details and have you the quotes. You can also purchase the actual international travel cover policy on-line by using the credit card. Everything you need to do is always to enter your travel specifics and you can begin to see the plans side-by-side. Only find the system that suits your capacity to pay and needs and then use your credit card to buy them. Travel insurance on the internet is a good way to check for a dependable company for international travel insurance. Thanks for discussing your ideas.
