The 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has proposed a single five-year term for the office of the President of Nigeria.
He explained that this system, which is the practice in South Korea, would ensure that the president focuses on their duties within a limited time and is not distracted by seeking re-election.

‘If I have the opportunity, we should stop having a second tenure for presidents. It should be five years,” Obi said when he paid a visit to the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, at the government house, Bauchi, on Friday.
“That is what is in South Korea, so people come in and know that they have a job to do,” he added
The former Anambra State governor said the practice of governing for one year and using the remaining years in office to plan for re-election should stop.
“What people do now is to be president for one year and use the rest of the year thinking about the next tenure. Let’s stop it, let’s face the real job,” he said.
