Kenneth Okonkwo: Peter Obi’s One-Term Presidency Promise Is “Pure Political Strategy”
Veteran Nollywood actor and politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has claimed that the single-term presidency proposal of Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is nothing more than a strategy to win over Northern voters ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on Friday, Okonkwo argued that Obi adopted the idea after realising he could lose Northern support without such a promise.
According to him, “It was Atiku Abubakar who first said he would do only one term. Peter Obi later keyed into it because he knew if he didn’t, he would lose the North completely.”
Okonkwo added that for any opposition party to stand a chance against an incumbent, its candidate must agree to serve just one term so no region feels sidelined.
He explained that Obi’s promise is designed to assure Northerners that he wouldn’t “shortchange” them if elected, but would complete the eight-year cycle for the South with just a single four-year tenure.
