Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has called for a single five-year tenure for Nigeria’s president. Speaking in Bauchi on Friday during a courtesy visit to Governor Bala Mohammed, Obi argued that the presidency should not have a second term. Instead, he suggested extending the current four-year term to five years, similar to the system in South Korea. “I’ve said it and I want to say it again in this government house that if I have the opportunity, we should stop having a second tenure for president. “It should be five years straight, so that people can come in knowingly they have a job to do. “What people do now is to be president for one year and use the rest of the years thinking about their next tenure. We must stop it, let’s face the real job, do your own and go,” he suggested. The 2027 presidential hopeful insisted that if elected Nigerian president in 2027, he would serve only one term, promising not to spend a day longer than four years in office. He added that if given the opportunity to serve Nigeria, he would ensure that every political party functions properly. Obi said he would ensure that political parties were bigger than the elected officials. “I want the party to be bigger than the president and the governors so that we can have orderliness,” he said.
