Peter Obi Says He’ll Only Serve One Tenure if Elected as President in 2027
Peter Obi has restated his commitment to serve only one term if elected president in 2027. The former Anambra governor made it clear in a statement on Sunday that his promise to stay in office for just four years remains unchanged. “My one-term, four-year vow is not up for debate,” Obi said, addressing doubts about his pledge.
He pointed out that history has shown powerful examples of leaders who made lasting impacts without holding onto power for too long. Citing John F. Kennedy and Nelson Mandela, Obi reminded Nigerians that true leadership is about service, not staying in power endlessly.
“Mandela served just one term despite the pressure to stay,” he said. “That was leadership, putting the people first.” Obi also addressed the doubt surrounding his promise. According to him, the disbelief comes from people who are used to politicians breaking their word.
“They think I’ll do the same because that’s what they’re used to,” he said. “But I’m not like them. My record speaks for itself.” He added that real leadership doesn’t need a lifetime to deliver results, saying he is determined to lead with purpose and transparency within the span of four years.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
