They hardly have a choice. OBJ tried to get a third term but it didn't work, the most they can do is a second term. Nigeria is a country with powerful ethnic groups that don't trust each other, so they would not allow anybody cling to power for that long.

Useless power drunk oponus.
They do nothing to improve the nation.
All they want is power.
.....
Vote for me and that's all.

If they're given opportunity, they'll do the same.
