Governor 'Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has said that in order to avoid the issues that typically result from politicians seeking reelection a second time, the president, governors, members of the national legislature, and state assemblies should all be given a single five-year term.

The governor made the call on Wednesday, at the retreat of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), held at Maja Avenue, Jericho, Ibadan. This is coming shortly after he was reelected as the governor of the state.

Makinde noted that it has become essential for Nigerians to work together to rebuild the nation and reposition it on the path of sustainable economic growth and development, adding that the task of rebuilding the country remains the responsibility of Nigerians and should not be left to external actors. Makinde cautioned Nigerians, particularly those in leadership positions, to brace up for the task of rebuilding the country in line with the vision of the founding fathers.
