Many people here were given laptops and phones to counter any meaningful thing especially when is not from government or the ruling party.
What Obi said is something to be looked into as any government will use only two years and the remaining two years will plan for reelection and hence, relegating governance to the background.


A single term of 5 or 6 years is something to be considered.

Lere and others who just criticize as sources of income are working for their money but they know the truth.

Pakute:
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.

Obi is always comparing social, economic and political systems of well advanced countries with Nigeria hiaaa.

Obi is a comedian. It beats my imaginations how his supporters continue to defend him.


The only part of the constitution that needs to be changed is the part that allows comedians and jesters like Obi to entire into Nigerian political scene.

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

Should we change our constitution once and for all to that of Korea?

I am sure none of the Politicians will support it because they won't survive it.

Obi only proposed what favours him from it.

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.

So who says 8 years can't be used to balance and steal more ?

Sundaymessi:

8 years is better sir , didn't you see people like Desmond elliot and sanwoolu begging to be re elected , see adeleke with all his money running from pillarvto post to save his reelection, you think they are stupid ? Imagine if adeleke had just 5 years he won't give a damn about anything or osun people .

osuofia2:
Obi is so desperate, imagine he saying proposing single term of 5years , when will the bill be past, signed by the president. The mad man that gave obi that advice should be located and appeased

How long does it takes the bill to be passed?
Do you know that some of the bills that are delay are intentional?
Do you know that a single term is not a bad idea because anybody that wins an election will no that he/she must get ready to work.

Proof him stop throwing insult.
He has opened the floor for debate so bring your own opinion

Putindbutt:
Why not stick to his four years of one term, why 5years?. Very inconsistent man, I pity all of una.

U dey support Tinubu ruining Nigeria and we nor pity u but u dey pity Obi that is not even president yet.
Are u sure you guys were around when God was sharing brains?
I wondered how a ruling party will single one opposition as its problem instead of focusing on delivering on their mandate.
One thing is certain, Obi is made popular today because of the failure of Tinubu. If Tinubu is really working and people are feeling the positives of this govt, we wont be discussing Obi everyday.
Tinubu has the advantage over everyone cos he is already president and instead of him to focus on governance, he is busy doing politics and recruiting minors like u that dont even know their left from their right to keep attacking someone not in govt. It is really a pity.
Tinubu is ruining your future and that of your generations and then paying u peanuts to attack someone that is not and u are happily doing it without even thinking.
Omo
God help u guys

Peter Obi was a disaster even while he was governor for 8 years. Peter Obi's disastrous record is here for everyone to see and no matter how much you whitewash the failure called Obi. he will never cut it.

You Igbos hated Obi when he was governor but because you see him contesting for presidency, you are now hypocritically supporting him just because you see him as a means to Igbo presidency.

You don't love Nigeria, you never did and you will never ever love Nigeria and the rest of Nigerians know this and the only reason you people hate Nigeria is because Igbos are not the ones ruling.

Nigerians no dey trust politicians again.

You'd better keep your records and integrity to ya self.

No politician can save this country.

Case closed.

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

I pity una oooo
Ordinary small English you are you demi god no understand 😆😆😆

Peter has never said he doesn't believe in Nigeria except Tulumbu.
So who is the hypocrite now.

I ask u simple how does single term affect u?
Is it because it is Obi that said?

What makes you guys to hate Obi this much ?
I know why and where this hatred is coming from.
Even ur Tulumbu knows that Obi is a force that is why he has bought laptop for u guys to become keyboard warriors according to Amaechi

Riskymarvelous:

He could have simply proposed a single term of four years since he believes four years is enough for Presidency.. I pity all of una.

* How does Obi love Nigerians by deporting northerners out of Anambra while he was governor. Same northerners he is begging for votes
* How does Peter Obi loves Nigeria when he is waging a religious war on the Muslims in Nigeria. Or is that you feel Muslims do not deserve to live in Nigeria with you.
* How does Peter Obi love Nigeria when he is telling the church to take back their country
* How does Obi love Nigeria when he was busy going to only churches for campaign
* I said you lots don't love Nigeria you quickly turned it to Peter Obi


Why should someone like me hate someone like Peter Obi? Obi is too insignificant for me to hate him.

For your information I think APC is better at least you say they bought laptop for APC guys unlike Obi that didn't even buy any laptops but Obi and his LP pays N11K plus data to OBIDIENTS and I know that is what you got

Lere is jobless.
Dude has no concrete job.
Political aide. That one na work?

name calling works. If he mentioned policy many will not bother to read or listen
