Nasir El-Rufai, a former governor of Kaduna State, has responded to Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, pledging to serve only one term.
Four years is insufficient to bring about significant change in Nigeria, El-Rufai urged Obi to abandon such a pledge.
While appearing on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, the prominent African Democratic Congress (ADC) member gave a speech.
Recalling that Obi and Rotimi Amaechi have been governors, El-Rufai said no Nigerian believes in their one-term presidency pledge.
He said: “On the question of people saying they will come out and do one term, I don’t think that anyone believes them and I don’t think that it’s right.
“You should not constitutionally give up what is yours and frankly, as someone who has been governor for eight years, Amaechi and Peter Obi have both been governors.
They are aware that four years is insufficient to bring about significant changes in governance.
Because no one believes you, I want to urge everyone to stop making promises like “I’ll do four years.”
