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 former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
