*** Single tenure: Presidency gives condition for support - PUNCH
The Presidency on Monday gave a condition for it to support the six-year single term for President and governors recommended by the Senate Committee on Constitution amendment.
The condition which is a U-turn on its earlier promise to abide by any law on single term, is that such an amendment must take effect from 2019.
The Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Dr. Ahmed Gulak, made this known while featuring on a Channels Television programme, Sunrise.
Gulak had on May 1 said President Goodluck Jonathanwas ready to forget his ambition to run for second term in 2015 if the proposal for a single non-renewable six-year tenure sailed through.
