Peter Obi has stated that he would serve only one term of four years if elected president, insisting that he has no intention of remaining in office beyond that period under any circumstance.
Speaking during an interview with News Central, Obi, who recently joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) to pursue the party’s presidential ticket, said his goal is to ensure stability in the country.
“I want to be a one-term president for stability. I will not stay a day longer than four years, even with a gun to my head,” he declared.
The former Labour Party presidential candidate, who finished third in the 2023 general election, is reportedly positioning himself for another presidential run in 2027.
There are also reports suggesting that Rabiu Kwankwaso could emerge as his running mate ahead of the next election cycle.
Reaffirming his position during the interview, Obi said:
