2027: ‘Obasanjo, Buhari achieved nothing’ – Farotimi questions Obi on one-term proposal

Human rights activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, criticized former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, for proposing a one-term presidency in 2023. Farotimi questioned Obi's motives, stating that the issue goes beyond a mere declaration and requires a detailed plan for bringing about necessary changes.

Farotimi pointed out that past leaders like Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari completed two terms without achieving much, suggesting that a single term may not be sufficient. Obi's proposal has sparked a mixed reaction, with some praising his ambition while others questioning his intentions.

Obi's plan to serve for only four years and then return power to the north, as per a gentleman's agreement between the north and south, has raised concerns about the effectiveness of short-term presidencies in Nigeria.
