Peter Obi’s Political Oath: MBF Explains Why They Believe He Won’t Betray Nigerians

The Middle Belt Forum (MBF) has voiced confidence in former presidential candidate Peter Obi’s commitment to serve only one term if elected president.

The Forum stated that, as a man of integrity, the former Anambra State governor could be trusted to keep his promise without compromise.

Speaking to newsmen, MBF National President Bitrus Pogu said the region had no reason to doubt Obi’s sincerity, noting that his pledge was not aimed at deceiving the Middle Belt into supporting his political ambitions.

Clarifying that he spoke solely for the Middle Belt and not the North, Pogu said:
“We believe Peter Obi is a man of honour. If he wins and makes a promise, we trust him to fulfil it.

“But as I’ve often said, our current challenges stem from the fact that Nigeria is not yet functioning as a true nation. This is why different factors keep holding us back from realising the vision of our founding fathers.

“Ordinarily, the length of time one should serve in office ought to be determined by the constitution and the electorate, not by the interests of certain groups.
