President Jonathan- Why I Can Contest 2015 Election


President Jonathan has responded to a suit filed by Port Harcourt based lawyer and a PDP card-carrying member, Henry Amadi, where, Henry stated that the president is no longer qualified to contest for 2015 election on the grounds that he would be spending more than the maximum two terms of four years each.

The President in response, told a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja yesterday that, contrary to the provisions of the 1999 constitution, an incumbent president's tenure of office can elongate beyond four or eight years.
