Senator Shehu Sani representing Kaduna Central district in the National Assembly has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s intention to run for a second term.
The active social media senator took to Twitter to air his view.
He tweeted:
A recap of history: Deng Xiaoping was the first to rule out lifelong tenure in Communist Party leadership. The paramount leader in the 1980s lifted China out of backwardness with economic reforms, highlighted by his motto “Hide your strength, bide your time” … “My last task is to take the lead in establishing a retirement system” the 84-year-old Deng told his colleagues (link in Chinese) months before he quit all his official roles in 1989. “The natural law cannot be changed, and the leadership transition cannot be stopped.”
Gen. Augusto Pinochet Ugarte, on the other hand, was a brutal dictator who repressed and reshaped Chile for nearly two decades and became a notorious symbol of human rights abuse and corruption.
