Farotimi slams Obasanjo, Buhari’s tenures, questions Obi over one-term pledge

Human rights activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, criticized former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari, questioning their tenures' impact on Nigeria. Farotimi also scrutinized Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for proposing a one-term presidency.

Farotimi argued that Obi's pledge should be critically examined, emphasizing that true leadership goes beyond public declarations. He raised concerns about the need for a leader with a comprehensive vision and long-term plans to bring about meaningful change in the country.

Farotimi highlighted the lack of tangible results during Obasanjo and Buhari's administrations, suggesting that Nigeria needs a leader who can deliver results over an extended period. Obi's proposal for a single-term presidency and power rotation between the North and South has sparked mixed reactions, with some critics labeling him as overly ambitious.
