The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, has
canvassed a single five-year term for Nigeria’s President.
Obi said that the proposal formed part of his campaign
during the electioneering period, adding that he would have moved for the
amendment of the Constitution to allow the President stay only five years in
office.
He 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.
“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 lncluded 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.”
