Political Activist, Aisha Yesufu, has reacted following Peter Obi’s “vow” to serve just one term of four years if elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
She said, the former Governor of Anambra State has always made it clear even prior to the 2023 Presidential Election that, he will not serve as President more than one term.
Yesufu added, she argued with Obi, saying, “one term is not enough” and that he just can’t “refuse to contest”, also, the people will not let him do just one four-year term.
The 2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) has recently reiterated, his vow to serve just one term of four year if elected President of Nigeria is “sacrosanct”.
In her reaction via X, Aisha Yesufu said: “I, Aisha Yesufu can confirm that Mr Peter Gregory Obi has always said he would do just a term even before the 2023 election. I used to argue with him that one term is not enough and he can’t just refuse to contest.
“Infact I told him on several occasions while we were campaigning in 2022 that the people will not allow him to do just a term. He would use Nelson Mandela as example. He would explain that if one was ready to really work that a term was more than enough!
“Early this year, I went back to him to ask If he truly meant what he said about doing just a term. Many from the north had shown concern over support for Peter Obi might lead to an extra 4 years for the south.
“I told him that I was going to speak of his promise to do one term only publicly and I needed his confirmation on doing a term as my integrity mattered to me and I wouldn’t want to say something and it turns out not to be so.
“Mr Peter Obi once again gave me his word that he was going to do only one term.”
