Former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan on new media, Reno Omokri,
has alleged that some sections of the proposed amendment to the 1999
Constitution were sponsored by the cabal in the Presidency with the aim
of dealing heavy blows to the political career of Acting-President Yemi
Osinbajo.
According to him, the Bill seeking the restriction of a President or
Governor who completes the tenure of another from contesting again
after winning an election was one of such sponsored proposal targeted at
Osinbajo.
He made this known through a post published on his Facebook page Wednesday evening.
Omokri, who claimed authoritatively that Ex-President Jonathan would
not run for Presidency in 2019, said: “Do not be deceived by the
headlines, the constitutional amendment barring any vice President who
completes a President’s term from contesting a 2nd term after winning an
election is aimed at Professor Yemi Osinbajo not Goodluck Jonathan!
“What is the pressing need for the constitutional amendment? Look at the timing.
“They (Presidency cabal) distracted Nigerians with this jamboree to London then sprang it on us.
“I can authoritatively state that Dr. Jonathan has no plans of contesting the 2019 elections.
“They just used him as an excuse to get Osinbajo!”
