2023: OCF Cautions Buhari Against ‘Third Term Agenda Plotters’

Share this story.

The Oodua Consultative Forum (OCF) has advised President Muhammadu Buhari “not to be enticed by temptations from praise singers or fall for the antics of palace hirelings around him who are toying with the idea of tenure extension for him beyond 2023.”
President-General Worldwide, OCF, Prince Adebisi Oyemade, issued the caution in a statement following rumors and insinuations flying of a third term agenda for President Buhari.
However, presidential spokespersons continue to deny the rumored third term plot, insisting that President Buhari would leave office and hand over to a duty elected successor come May 29, 2023.
But according to Oyemade, “there is no smoke without fire, hence the OCF is concerned that a third term agenda has been associated with the Buhari Presidency in the first place. While the OCF is aware that the President’s spokesmen have come out to deny the alleged third term plans, the OCF is compelled to add its weighty voice to others and unequivocally states that President Buhari must not give in to this anti-democracy clamor to tinker with the 1999 Constitution in order to keep him in Aso Rock beyond 2023. It will not work!”
The OCF added: “Rather than any feckless plot of tenure elongation, the OCF advises President Buhari to use this second term to establish a lasting legacy for his stewardship of the country so that history would be kind to him post-2023. Especially does the OCF advises President Buhari to create a level-playing field for the 2023 elections, particularly the presidential poll, so that he would be remembered for good.
“The OCF reiterates that on-going attempts to incapacitate credible Yoruba presidential candidates for 2023 and media campaigns to exclude the Yoruba Race from producing a successor to President Buhari have not escaped our notice.
“Let it be known that the Yoruba Race will not be cowed by these untoward attacks. Without prejudice to other region’s rights to the Presidency after President Buhari, the OCF insists that the Yoruba Race has a stronger claim to produce a successor to President Buhari, given the inestimable value of the Yoruba contributions to President Buhari’s victory in the 2015 and 2019 presidential elections – after he had failed three times before 2015. Without any iota of doubt, if not for the Yoruba Race and Yoruba votes, President Buhari would not have become president in 2015”
The OCF is a non-partisan umbrella body of all Yoruba in Nigeria and worldwide. It pursues the overall advancement of the Yoruba Race in Nigeria and wherever peoples of Yoruba origin are found around the World.
