It is morally and politically wrong for one to rising that high and so nosedive as if the whole witches on earth are after him. Just a former deputy governor in Benue state after leaving role contested and won councillorship position in his hamlet. The man is late now.

But a erstwhile deputy governor in Benue country after leaving office contested and won councillorship position in his village. The man is tardily now. but its not like a criminal criminal offence right? its permissible under the law?

All these write ups and thinking is to see how GEJ can still remain useful politically afterwards his defeat on march 28 election. But GEJ is dead and and gone politically. he tin't be back to occupy any sensitive political position over again. At best, Nigeria can enquire him to become and be Volume Haram - FG negotiator

sunnyshayne: Dear white human, kindly fence objectively. Support your stand with reasons. something you could take washed to justify your claim, instead of the groundless post. Politically wrong, how? Will the party refuse to give them the form to contest cos information technology is against the rule of the party or incorrect nether the constitution of the nation? Morally wrong, why? It is a sin or not right? Let me requite you the examples of US Presidents that ran for an elective post afterward leaving office; John Quincy Adams, the 6th President came back to seek an elective post to get a member of the lower firm. became a fellow member for 17years. Andrew Johnson, Abraham Lincoln successor and 17th President still went back to the senate afterward escaping conviction though impeached. John Tyler, tenth President, was a provisional member of the Confederate Congress and was eventually elected as a Confederate senate member.

icebeatz: can an ex-president run for political office? For case, can goodluck or obasanjo vie for political appointments? oObasanjo cannot vie for President because his has served the maximum term as President for any single private as stated in the constitution. Jonathan is eligible to run for President simply for a single term. Both men are eligible for political engagement and other elective positions. But what kind of appointment tin can you offer an exPresident?

modhream: Really,y'all're the one not being objective.John Quincy Adam served many years in the US congress after beingness president,equally did ex-president Johnson in the Us senate. In what yr did Quincy took this decision, tin it be done again in this 21st century? There take been several constitutional developments since these times. Importantly, I think the OP is restricting his question to Nigeria where such has never happened before. I think information technology'due south totally absurd to ofttimes use the America to answer Nigerian questions, we cannot be compared or equalled in anyway.

Re: Tin An Ex-president Run For Political Office?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by jumobi1(m): 3:53pm On May 15, 2015

Nigerian mentality. The ideal need for one vying for presidency is to create positive change. The demand for change doesn't cease in one case i is washed serving equally a president. If yous feel at that place is more you tin can contribute by running then run for some other office. Information technology's upward to the people to vote you lot in. Serving isn't well-nigh pride or accumulating wealth. It'due south about homo development. It'south really immoral to feel as well large to run for any other position. It shows your original intent was personal and helping your people was secondary. Of course you tin also employ your caused influence to implement alter without running for office.
