The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has reiterated his commitment to serving only one term if elected president in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s *Sunday Politics*, Obi said he would not remain in office beyond four years, stressing that a single term would be enough to set Nigeria on the right path.
According to him, the agreement on a single-term presidency was reached in good faith and should be respected by all parties involved.
“I have said this thing several times. We have what we can call a meeting agreement. We are gentlemen, we must respect it,” Obi said.
The former Anambra State governor maintained that he does not need more than four years to demonstrate effective leadership, adding that he is willing to formally commit to the pledge if necessary.
“I don’t need more than four years to show Nigerians the right path they will follow. It’s a simple thing. Even if you want me to sign it with you, I sign it with you.
“A day more than four years is not Peter Obi. I want us to start trusting our leaders,” he said.
