A research professor, Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, Femi Otubanjo, has described as a ‘hogwash’ the one-term presidential agreement talk by Peter Obi and Rabi’u Kwankwaso.
Otubanjo said this on Wednesday when he appeared as a guest
in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.
Recall that Kwankwaso, had in an interview on television
said he had an agreement with Obi to spend only one-term if the Nigeria
Democratic Congress, NDC, wins the 2027 general elections.
Peter Obi is the party’s presidential candidate while
Kwankwaso is his running mate.
Airing his own opinion, Otubanjo said, “If Peter Obi wins
the election, he will spend about two years learning how government works.
“After those two years, both his attention and Kwankwaso’s
would shift to winning the next election, leaving little time for governance.
The purported agreement is not reassuring to the North.
“Unlike in Tinubu’s case, where constitutional term limits
rule out a 2031 run and power is expected to return to the North, this
agreement rests only on a verbal promise from someone who has not tested
presidential power.
“A single term is not a good idea for anyone with
presidential ambitions in Nigeria. In fact, such an agreement is a hogwash.”
