One Term Is Enough! Aisha Yesufu Reveals Peter Obi’s Presidential Plan

Socio-political activist Aisha Yesufu has revealed that former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, personally assured her of his commitment to serving only a single term if elected President of Nigeria.

Yesufu shared this in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, while responding to Obi’s recent public reaffirmation of his one-term presidency pledge.

According to her, Obi has consistently maintained this stance since emerging as the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election.

She also noted that concerns in the North regarding a possible power extension for the South have played a role in the political discourse surrounding Obi’s candidacy.

“I, Aisha Yesufu, can confirm that Mr. Peter Gregory Obi has always stated his intention to serve just one term, even before the 2023 elections,” she wrote.

“I used to challenge him on that point, telling him one term wouldn’t be enough and that the people wouldn’t allow him to walk away. He would often cite Nelson Mandela as an example, insisting that one term was sufficient for someone determined to make real impact.”

Yesufu added that earlier this year, she sought confirmation from Obi once more, stressing the importance of her integrity before publicly speaking on the matter.

“Many Northerners were concerned that supporting Peter Obi could mean an additional four years of Southern leadership,” she explained.

“I told him I planned to publicly share his one-term promise and needed his confirmation. Again, Mr. Peter Obi reaffirmed his commitment to serve just one term.”
