US EditionNigeria: I'm Not Desperate for Power - Obi Reacts to Criticism Over One-Term Promise
NIGERIA, AUG 5 – Peter Obi says four years is enough to implement key reforms and fight corruption, reaffirming his vow amid criticism before Nigeria's 2027 presidential election.
- Amid a war of words with Governor Charles Soludo, Catholic priest John Oluoma weighed in on Obi’s pledge, calling it reassuring and noting skepticism from Igbo-speaking South-east.
- Prompted by Obi’s one-term pledge, Governor Charles Soludo called such promises “mentally unstable,” sparking the verbal war between the two politicians.
- Obi wrote, `I still find it baffling that my decision to do a term of four years, if given the mandate to rule this country, is generating so much agitation,` and argued, `In four years we can confront corruption head-on, redirecting resources to priority areas.`
- As campaign messaging evolves, Oluoma suggested Mr Obi’s pledge could be a strategic tool to win the forthcoming general election and described it as a “win-win” for Nigeria.
- Beyond immediate reactions, the one-term project might be Obi’s most potent disruptive masterstroke, challenging Nigeria’s two-term limit and fueling widespread debate.
