Nobody knows who this Lere is even in most part of South West that he is from if not for just Ekiti State when he was also an errand boy of Fayose just the way he is an errand boy of Wike now…he has no ambition but throwing jabs at most people that have done well for themselves and don’t even who who he is…It’s good to have sense ooo

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.

Thundafireseun:
Lol 😆😆😆…. I thought he was quoting American past presidents that ruled only 4years ….

Now it’s South Korea 😆😆😆….

Moral of the story….Don’t trust a desperate person

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

benardtotti:
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.

seunoyeleyep:
This clown trusted TifNubu, a drug baron but says Obi should not be trusted. Many of you are bewitched.

This Lere doesn’t have sense to bring up a single good idea that will benefit an average Nigerian but always saying jargons…single 5 year term is a very good idea

Lere Olayinka na content creator.

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?

Why are they always against any progressive thought? Is one single term of 5 years not better than this 2 terms mess?

Putindbutt:
When he said he needed only four years, una dey hail am, now he's proposing 5years, una still dey hail am. Why can't he stick to one?, From 5years, he may increase it to 6years. See how the man don turn you to robot, anything he says even if it lacks sense, you will support it. And na somebody send una go school.

PHIPEX:
You are obviously not thinking, you just want to talk.

We all know anything 2nd term is a looting term

objobj:
I don't think you understand.
There is a difference between the two opinion.

Timmi:
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.

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

chucks185:
Why almost all those who criticise Obi are from the southwest

Putindbutt:
Lol, from four years to five years. Gbajue can't hide it anymore

OredoPikin2:
Is just a proposal.
It will still have to go through national assembly for approval

fineboynl:
but you know second term is were elected officials steals and don't really do anything. Imagine tinubu second term it will be worst than this

Putindbutt:
Lol, from four years to five years. Gbajue can't hide it anymore

Lol 😆😆😆…. I thought he was quoting American past presidents that ruled only 4years ….

Now it’s South Korea 😆😆😆….
