BREAKING: Peter Obi Submits One-Term Proposal In 2027 To Atiku-Led Coalition
The National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, Yunusa Tanko, has disclosed that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has submitted his one-term proposal to the coalition for consideration.
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Obi, on Monday, said he is willing to be a one-term president in 2027.
According to him, any candidate from the South elected president in the next election must be prepared to leave office on May 28, 2031, in line with the “unwritten power-sharing agreement” and the zoning principle.
Recall that Obi, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi, and Nasir el-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna, have formed a coalition to challenge President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming election.
The coalition on Tuesday adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the vehicle for its ambition.
Yunusa said Obi has laid down his proposal before the coalition.
“We have presented it to the coalition. It is there for them to make a decision. But we are confident it can work. This is a pronouncement rooted in integrity, and Peter Obi embodies that. What Nigeria needs now are leaders with integrity,” Tanko said.
He added that although the single term is not enshrined in the constitution, Obi believes that four years is enough to implement his ideas.
