Third Term Agenda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Third Term Agenda is a term which was used to describe alleged, controversial attempts by supporters of Nigerian President Olusẹgun Ọbasanjọ to change the constitution to allow for a third term in office. This led to a political media uproar in Nigeria, which resulted in a bill which recommended for the amendment of the constitution to be defeated in Nigeria's Senate. While this may be a controversial issue, democracy does not mandate a limit on the number of terms, and certain European countries such as France and Britain have no limits.
