The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi has suggested a single five-year term for Nigeria’s President.
Obi, who spoke during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, where he addressed issues arising from the recent ruling of the Supreme Court that upheld the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the last election, said that the proposal formed part of his campaign during the electioneering period.
The former Anambra state governor made it known that he would have moved for the amendment of the Constitution to allow the President stay only five years in office.
According to him: “On the issue of a single term, we campaigned on the issue of restructuring and reform and that would have included an amendment to make this Constitution be a workable and functional Constitution that would be productive for Nigerians. I included in that would have been the issue of single tenure.
“I would go for a five-year tenure which would go for thirty years rotational.”
