How Tinubu Could Legally Secure a Third Term

How Tinubu Could Legally Secure a Third Term

This post outlines the exact constitutional steps President Tinubu would need to follow for a third term. First, any amendment bill must win a two-thirds majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. With APC’s current seat count, this threshold is within reach. Next, at least 24 state assemblies must approve the change. APC controls enough states to meet this requirement. Finally, the president must sign the bill into law. If Tinubu wins re-election, he could initiate these amendments. In my view, he is also well-positioned to support the Igbo cause for Biafra given his party’s legislative strength.

Does relying on APC's two-thirds majority really guarantee Tinubu a smooth path to a constitutional amendment for his third term?

It's interesting that the current APC seat count is highlighted as sufficient, but that ignores possible defections or dissent within party ranks.

Even with two-thirds support, wouldn't public backlash and legal challenges still pose serious hurdles for any constitutional change?

To build a stronger case, Tinubu's team might focus on grassroots outreach and clear communication about the amendment's benefits to win broader support.
