The presidential spokesperson was reacting to claims by the renowned lawyer that the president has perfected plans to seek a third term in office.

In his response, Mr Shehu said Falana is using the president’s third term agenda to seek personal media attention.

“The popularly acclaimed human rights lawyer and formerly unsuccessful opposition candidate for governor of Ekiti state, Femi Falana, has boarded the free-publicity train, full of those seeking personal media attention in claiming the president is planning a third term in office. ”

I actually assumed that only adults work with the FGN. You @GarShehu actually appears very unsuccessful and low level and very shallow to be tweeting this about Mr Femi Falana. https://t.co/JFQeatzwrn

Our elders are close to the gods and our ancestors in the South of Nigeria, some age gracefully and others childishly yet we respect them and honor them. Femi Falana is erudite scholar and SAN, respect him. You won’t be in Government house forever, the internet never forget.
