Wike's Aide Reacts To Peter Obi's 5-Year Single Term Comment by Pakute(op): 7:06pm On Aug 09, 2025

Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media to former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, responded on August 9, 2025, via his official X account to remarks by Peter Obi, Labour Party leader and former Anambra State governor.

According to Channels TV, Obi, speaking at the Bauchi State Government House, advocated for a single five-year presidential term in Nigeria, arguing it would allow leaders to prioritize governance over reelection efforts.

According to Channels TV, Peter Obi said, "If I have the opportunity, we should stop having a second tenure for presidents. It should be five years. That is what is in South Korea."

Olayinka criticized Obi’s proposal, sarcastically noting that Obi, whom he called “Mr ONE SHOE,” was already extending his earlier single four-year term pledge to five years before even contesting the 2027 election."

In his statement, he said, "Mr One Shoe is already trying to increase his "one term" to 5 years even when he is yet to contest the 2027 Presidential Election.

I really hate when politicians can not discuss issue on ground, but resort to name calling. It doesn't show maturity at all.
Single tenure of five years is not a bad idea

When you are jobless you tend to care about throwing jabs at someone who doesn't even know you exist.

It’s not new, the current NA proposed it I think, it was shut down. Now PO has proposed same, it has suddenly become a great idea.

The proposal that South Korea does it is just outrageous. Why don’t we copy Russia or North Korea?

Actually it's a bad idea for African countries where leaders only care about themselves, just imagine if buhari had single term of 5 years , I doubt he would have done anything other than give his tribesmen more room to operate and then marry off his kids to rich families, Nigeria would have been worse off. Or imagine past governors like ikpeazu , orji ,etc , they will use the 5 years to balance well and steal while giving the state residents palliatives, there will be absolutely no motivation to want to develop the state.

Peter Obi talks way too much. If he spoke less, he could have been a stronger opponent in Nigeria's Presidential race. He thinks he can win over Nigerians by saying things they want to hear, even if they're negative. But it's 2025, and the internet never forgets.

Not quite correct Oga chucks185.

Peter Obi saying the President should spend one term (be it 4 or 5 years) is a political voodoo. He knows he will not spend one term but PO is prone to lying from his gap tooth. Governor Soludo said any politician campaigning on spending one term in office needs to have his head examined.

All I know is that a new Nigeria is imPOssible with PO and I am not from the southwest.

Isn't that the nature of opposition politics all sides engage in?

Perhaps I missed it, and giving you the benefit of the doubt, can you show condemnation for Obi's penchant for pettily "reacting to any news against APC/Tinubu"?

Even to the ultra petty and senseless levell to claim PBAT erred not wearing "funeral outfit" to visit Benue after an attack that saw many lose their lives?

Politics should ideally be debated with decent words and intentions wink

Let's not relent in preaching that message.
