A chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and presidential hopeful, Peter Obi, has declared that he would serve only one term of four years if elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, insisting that no circumstance would make him remain in office beyond that period.

The former governor of Anambra State gave this assurance on Thursday in a video clip from an interview scheduled to air on News Central TV.

He said, “I want to be a one-term president because of stability. I would not stay a day, with a gun to my head, longer than four years.”

This is as the economic expert criticised the economic policies of the current administration, particularly issues surrounding borrowing and the rising cost of living, saying Nigerians were facing severe hardship.

New Telegraph recalls Obi was the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, where he finished behind President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Since the election, he has remained one of the leading opposition voices, frequently commenting on governance and the country’s economic direction.
