2023 LP Presidential candidate, Peter Obi
Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi has declared that a single four-year term is sufficient for any sincere leader to make a meaningful impact in Nigeria.
According to him, this approach would not only respect the principle of zoning but also stabilize the country’s polity.
“If bad leaders can damage the country in just two years, why can’t a serious leader fix things within four?” Obi questioned, emphasizing that one term is enough to establish good governance.
“I don’t need more than four years to set Nigeria in the right direction. Two years is enough to start turning things around for good. Nigerians deserve a president who truly cares. and shows compassion,” he added
Obi reiterated his determination to run for the presidency again in 2027, expressing confidence in his qualifications for the role.
“I will contest for the office of President of Nigeria in 2027, and I am fully qualified to do so,” he declared.
Regarding speculations about becoming a running mate to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Obi dismissed such claims, stating that no discussions have taken place.
“People assume many things, but nobody has ever talked to me about being A, B, or C in the next election,” he said.
Obi also addressed concerns about his coalition with individuals who have played key roles in previous administrations, highlighting the importance of their experience in preventing government failures.
“Their experience matters. Even major companies hire people from failed organisations because they understand why those failures happened.
“We need people who know what can crash the system and how to avoid it,” he explained.
