Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has said he would respect any coalition agreement that might require him to serve only one term and then hand over power to the North in 2031.
Obi stressed that he is not driven by a desperation for power but by values such as character and integrity.
He made this remark while speaking during a Space session on X (formerly Twitter) titled **#PeterObiOnParallelFacts**, which drew over 10,000 live listeners and nearly 3,000 comments from the audience.
“If the agreement is one term, I will leave on May 28, 2031 — not even May 29.
“I am not desperate to be president.
“I am desperate to see Nigeria work,” Obi said, in response to a question from a user named Balactic.
Obi also noted that upholding zoning and respecting any agreement within the coalition reflects political maturity.
