Prominent activist, Aisha Yesufu, has stated that former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is committed to serving only one term if elected president.
Yesufu made the assertion while addressing concerns about power rotation and equity in Nigeria’s political landscape, particularly between the North and South.
According to her, Obi has made it clear in several engagements that he is willing to spend a single four-year term focused on stabilising Nigeria’s economy, addressing insecurity, and laying a solid foundation for national development.
She explained that the one-term position is part of a broader commitment to fairness and inclusivity, especially in ensuring balanced representation across regions.
Yesufu argued that such a stance demonstrates leadership sacrifice and a willingness to prioritise national interest over personal ambition.
The comment has since sparked reactions across political circles, with supporters describing it as a bold and unifying proposal, while critics question its feasibility and sincerity within Nigeria’s complex political system.
The development adds a new dimension to ongoing discussions about leadership structure, zoning, and governance ahead of future elections in Nigeria.
