Peter Obi, a former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, has stated that he chose to run for a single four-year term in 2027 in order to uphold the sanctity of zoning.

This was in response to Obi’s statement that, despite not being included in the Nigerian constitution, zoning has stabilized the country’s politics.

In an interview with Politics Today on Channels Television, Obi stated that any real and committed leader can make an effect in four years.

He said: “One term is enough to establish that good governance is possible, and if they can impact negatively on us for just two years, why won’t someone achieve a lot in four years?

“It’s also to respect the gentleman’s agreement of zoning, which has been a stabilising factor even though it’s not in our constitution.

“I don’t need a day more than four years. I will show the direction of good governance. In two years, there has been maximum damage.

“Two years can change it in a good direction. People want to get up and see a president who cares and shows compassion.”

Obi recently declared that he will only run for one term before handing over.
