Presidential aspirant, Peter Obi, has pledged to serve only one term of four years if elected president, insisting he would not remain in office beyond that period under any circumstances.
Speaking in an interview with News Central, monitored by The News Chronicle, Obi, who is currently seeking the presidential ticket of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), said his decision is driven by the need to promote political stability and predictability in governance.
“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.
Obi, who finished third in the 2023 presidential election under the Labor Party, is reportedly positioning himself for another shot at the presidency in 2027.
There are also indications of possible political alignments, including a reported plan involving former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso as a potential running mate.
Reiterating his position, Obi maintained that his commitment to a single term is non-negotiable, framing it as part of his broader governance philosophy.
“I want to be a one-term president for stability. I will not stay a day longer than four years,” he said.
He ran for president in 2023 under the Labor Party and has since remained a prominent figure in discussions ahead of the 2027 general election.
