Aisha Yesufu, a former co-convener of BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, has affirmed that a member of the opposition coalition, Peter Obi would only be President for one term if elected.
Yesufu disclosed that Obi affirmed his position of one term presidency to her personally.
She said the former Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate has always drawn inspiration from South African Nelson Mandela regarding the issue of one term presidency.
Posting on X, she recalled telling Obi during the campaign for the 2023 presidential election that Nigerians won’t allow him do just one term in office as President.
Yesufu wrote: “I, Aisha Yesufu can confirm that Mr Peter Gregory Obi has always said he would do just a term even before the 2023 election. I used to argue with him that one term is not enough and he can’t just refuse to contest.
“Infact I told him on several occasions while we were campaigning in 2022 that the people will not allow him to do just a term. He would use Nelson Mandela as example. He would explain that if one was ready to really work that a term was more than enough.
“I told him that I was going to speak of his promise to do one term only publicly and I needed his confirmation on doing a term as my integrity mattered to me and I wouldn’t want to say something and it turns out not to be so.
“Mr Peter Obi once again gave me his word that he was going to do only one term.”
