The member representing Toro federal Constituency Honourable Gumau Yahaya has vowed to make President Muhammadu Buhar life President if elected a Senator.
Gumau who is a member and candidate of the ruling party of the All Progressives Congress (APC) promised that if elected a Senator, he is going to work towards the amendment of Nigeria’s constitution for President Muhammadu Buhari to remain as President for Life.
Mr. Gumau Yahaya is one of the candidates seeking to represent Bauchi South Senatorial District in the ongoing bye-election in Bauchi State. While addressing his supporters during the last lap of his campaign on Thursday, said if he wins today’s election, he will protect the interest of the President at the National Assembly.
He said:
“I, Lawal-Yahaya Gumau, want you to know that the mandate that will be given to me on Saturday is to go and protect Buhari’s interest in the Senate. This is the only mandate that I will be going to the Senate with, having fulfilled every other mandate to the best of my ability while in the House of Representatives for eight years.
“By God’s grace, we will amend Nigeria’s Constitution to allow Buhari to be President for the remaining years of his life. He will only cease to be President when God takes his life.
He also spoke about former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s alleged failed third term bid, saying it failed because God did not approve it because the former President was never sincere. He said:
“Obasanjo tried all his best for the constitution to be amended to allow him to go for a third term, but God didn’t approve of it because of its lack of sincerity. What is now needed in Nigeria is to protect Buhari’s interest and that is what we will do.”
Mr. Gumau is currently an Honourable member in the green chamber of the National Assembly represents Toro Federal Constituency of Bauchi State.
The election for the Bauchi South Senatorial zone is still ongoing, as some unofficial results have started coming in.
