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.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.
He stated, “Despite three years of Tinubu’s food emergency, Nigeria’s hunger ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.”
“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”
The U.S. government has released a warning to social media influencers who will be coming to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The government placed a rule on creating content to make money while using a tourist visa and stated that it could lead to deportation back to their country.
It can be noted that the World Cup will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
“People who enter the United States under a visitor program and receive income from a U.S. source would be violating the conditions of their admission status.”
