Peter Obi, the Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate, has formally submitted a proposal for a single-term presidency to the opposition coalition.
Dr Yinusa Tanko, the National Coordinator for the Obidient Movement Worldwide, disclosed this on Tuesday during the conferment of a chieftaincy title, ‘Sarki Maskan’ (War Hero), on Obi.
Obi's proposal suggests he would serve only one term if elected, focusing on stabilizing power and solving key challenges like electricity crises. The proposal has been submitted to the opposition coalition, which includes prominent figures like Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai, and David Mark.
Tanko emphasized that Obi's commitment to a single term reflects his integrity and vision for Nigeria's future. Obi's team believes stabilizing power and addressing basic infrastructure would boost local production and cut foreign dependence.
Tanko believes the coalition would align with Obi’s four-year ambition, stressing that the former governor of Anambra does not need more than four years to transform the country.
He stated, “We have presented it to the coalition. It is there for them to make a decision. But we are confident it can work. This is a pronouncement rooted in integrity, and Peter Obi embodies that. What Nigeria needs now are leaders with integrity.
“Obi has said clearly — even though the single term is not in the constitution — that he is committing himself to serve only one tenure. He believes four years is more than enough to accomplish his mission. That shows you how prepared and focused he is.
“Even stabilising electricity alone will solve a multitude of problems. He is promising that under his leadership, Nigeria will become an exporting country again. Planes will no longer leave our airports empty.”
Recently, while speaking during a live session on X Spaces, Obi declared his readiness to contest the 2027 presidential election. He also confirmed that he was willing to serve a single four-year term if elected.
