Presidential Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has questioned the credibility of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s promise to serve only one term if elected president.
Onanuga referenced Obi’s political history, alleging that
the former Anambra State governor had previously pledged loyalty to the All
Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, before later leaving the party.
The presidential aide further alleged that Obi had moved
across different political platforms over the years.
In a post on his X handle, Onanuga said “If you believe
Peter Obi’s promise to serve only one term as president, you’ll believe
anything.
“Consider his record: while in APGA, he famously placed
himself under a self-curse, vowing never to leave the party that made him
governor. He gave his word to the Ikemba, even on his deathbed, swearing
loyalty and fidelity to APGA.
“By his own actions, Peter Obi has shown that his word
cannot be trusted. His promises are as fleeting as his political allegiances.”
Recall that Obi had last week defected to the Nigeria
Democratic Congress, NDC, alongside Rabiu Kwankwaso from the African Democratic
Congress, ADC.
They are expected to hold a joint ticket on the NDC
platform, with Kwankwaso as Obi’s running mate.
During its National Convention held in Abuja, the Federal
Capital Territory, FCT, on May 9, the NDC zoned its presidential ticket to the
South.
It said this is for a single term and that it would return
to the North in 2031.
Observers see this move as an effort by the party to
convince the North that Obi’s one term pledge would stand.
