If Peter Obi is sincere, a one-term presidency could be a masterstroke for national unity. It settles the ‘it’s our turn’ agitation quickly. However, the risk is that he becomes a ‘lame duck’ from day one because everyone is already looking at who’s next.

The South-East isn’t a monolith. Some want eight years, some want anyone who can just fix the economy. Onanuga’s attempt to define what the region ‘deserves’ is an overreach. Let the South-East stakeholders speak for themselves.

Nigeria’s problems are indeed deep, but we don’t need a ‘life president’ to fix them. We need a system that works regardless of who is in power. Onanuga should stop making it about the length of time and start making it about the quality of governance.

The presidency is clearly rattled by Obi’s 2027 moves. If his word ‘cannot be trusted,’ why spend so much time analyzing it? This pushback shows that the ‘one-term’ model is actually a threat to the APC’s calculations for the next election.

Honestly, Onanuga has a point about the complexity of Nigeria. You can’t even fix the national grid or the refinery bottlenecks in four years. A one-term promise usually ends in ‘tenure elongation’ drama once they taste the honey in Aso Rock.

Why are we talking about 2027 terms when people are struggling to eat in 2026? Whether it’s one term or two terms, what we need is 'full-term' electricity and affordable food. All this grammar from the presidency is just a distraction from the current inflation.
