Majority Of Nigerians Want A Single Term Of 4 Years For Every President by Orikinla(m): 7:09pm On Jun 18, 2013
According to a Snap Poll results released by NOI Polls Limited about 6 in 10 Nigerians (63%) think a term of between 0 to 4 years is sufficient to effectively rule Nigeria. This shows a 1 point increase from a previous poll conducted in March 2011 to measure the citizen’s perception on the sufficient time needed to rule the country. Also, the majority (54%) of those aware of the recently proposed six-year single term bill are not in favour of this bill as 53% disapprove of any amendment to the current bill that permits a four year tenure with a maximum of 2 terms. An interesting find shows that 1 in 10 Nigerians (12%) agree with ‘life presidency’ where the President is allowed to stay in power indefinitely up from 10% in a similar poll in March 2011. These are a few of the key findings from the recent Length of Service Snap Pollconducted in the week of June 10th 2013. - See more at: http://www.nigeriansreport.com/2013/06/majority-of-nigerians-want-single-term.html#sthash.v4jItnNA.dpuf

My take is that:
- We should have a first term with the possibility of a second if the people believe you did well.
- A single term should be 4yrs nothing more. (We should not perpetuate mediocrity and those that do well also can be re-elected after a first term).
- And like Buhari suggested, Governors and the President should loose immunity to criminal offense but retain immunity on civil matter to enable them discharge their duties.
- INEC should be giving full autonomy to conduct elections. Those seeking re-election should stepdown from their current positions, relinquish their power in full and allow a 3-5months window for the conduct of election. This 3-5 months will be from the remainder of their current term. If your tenure is June 30th, then you step down January 30th.
- Everything should be in place to make the results the wishes of the people.

Nigeria say NO to the NGF election model.
