This man is just always talking rubbish. You can't get to the Aso rock through the back door. The earlier you know that, the better for you

It's not rubbish. It's his opinion, but I think a 5-year term is short; it should be 6 years of one tenure. As a president, that was what Jonathan once recommended and agbadohs wanted to skin him alive. It will save Nigeria all the money wasted during elections every 4 years.

Peter Obi is only looking for backdoor to get to Aso rock.

The USA that we are copying their democracy, how many years do their president normally serve before reelection?

It’s not about mouth… He should rally round the South East Senators and rep to present it in the house , until then he’s just making noise as usual.

You don't have to copy everything someone else does completely because God gave us brains for a reason. Besides, it may not work for us. Talking about the US, our model isn't exactly as theirs. For instance, their VP is the senate president.

Okay. So those who were elected under LP in the last election, why can't Peter Obi pass the message to them in order to table the proposal at the both houses?

I am an obi fan.. but u see this rubbish idea.. no no no

Presidency is not all about going round faster.. it's about effectiveness... A single term cannot make a meaningful change...

So this idea is a no no no for me

I’m an advocate of a six year rotational single tenure. It will solve a lot of the ethnic tension in the country and help to bring about unity.

4 years is ok. If you do well, seek reelection or get the Jonathan treatment. Our laws guarantee that. It's not about the length of days, but the quality of the citizenry!
