@DeMocrat00lj @PeterObi @STAGEMICHAEL1 So, you justify EFCC using teargas in a hospital?
Because you have data you can insult a Peter Obi because he is preaching for rule of law and order. What goes around comes around. Someday it will be your turn so treated by an overzealous agent of the state. Good luck to you.

My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is Sacrosanct

One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship.

It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.

I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent.

Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn’t be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.

I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation.

In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word.

My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity.

If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.

I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal.

We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances.

Forty-eight months is enough for any leader who is focused and prepared to make a meaningful difference. In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to:

sanitise our governance system;
tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation;
catalyse small businesses as engines of growth ; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve.

Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors.

These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years.

A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@PeterObi God bless you sir.
The rascals in political garbs that think that everything should be bent to meet their whims should learn some lessons in humility from you. You remain the model for leadership in our time. It does not matter whether you become President or not.

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@PeterObi All the haters of Peter Obi will spend their entire life in the darkness they willingly chose to live in. God have mercy on them all.
Ignorance is a decease.

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@ihe69 @winexviv You really need help. If this is the best way you can address this problem you need your head checked. I doubt if it is only Igbos that suffered the mass failure in jamb. I hope this is how you will address problems in your business.

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@realenergieman @winexviv Some of you are irredeemable. Everything is ethnicized. Wow. What a nation. I wonder if it is only Igbos that suffered the mass failure. You can go ahead in your ignorance. Rubbish.

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@winexviv Let me ask again. These changes the minister claimed were made that eliminated cheating, were they made just this year? To the best of my knowledge jamb has been doing CBT for a long time now. These guys need to query the algorithm behind the scoring machine. Something is wrong.

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@winexviv You have brain in your skull brother. I am appalled at the hasty conclusions of the minister of Education. These guys use everything to play politics and run propaganda. How can a nation’s exam body witness massive failure and we just dismiss it with a wave of the hand?

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@channelstv We don’t any more states in Nigeria. We should even consolidate the states. Most of them are unviable. These politicians should stop this nonsense talk about creating more states in Nigeria. They need to get more serious.

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@GuardianNigeria What is NCAA doing about VIP movements for which other flights take-off are delayed? It is not about taking tough. These guys are clueless and powerless.

@teejaybaba @SaharaReporters Democracy is about the rule of law. Calling on a govt to obey court order does not mean that one is an IPOB supporter. All of you that support evil done to one segment of the country and think that you will go free should know that what goes around comes around.

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@FateeMamtee @PeterObi Don’t mind them. Darkness is always afraid of light. We will continue to fight until light overcomes darkness in this country.

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@channelstv The speed at which any attack on security forces in the S/E is ascribed to IPOB and ESN begs the question as to how correct these allegations are. Why not work hard on the investigation and apprehend the perpetrators of these dastardly acts before rushing into conclusions.

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@CruiseAtuekong @SaharaReporters When some people like you make comments against Mr. PO I simply conclude that you are either foolish or mischievous. What is the reason for the Accountant-General retreating in London in this situation of Nigeria? Perhaps you are a beneficiary of this economic sabotage.

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@TonyeBarcanista This Akpabio is just a big joke. He always embarrasses himself and those who out of all the intelligent people around found him to be the best for the office of the Senate President. He does not know what comment is right for each occasion. How can he be talking politics here?

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@sowore To achieve this struggle you need to align forces with the other progressives. Divided you all will never be able to dismantle this criminal gang running Nigeria. It is not about you or Peter Obi. All of you must come together.

@Chidiifegbo I sincerely pray that it is just a rumor. I don’t work for him but I adore him as the most impactful Nigerian CEO. He is my role model. I have been pained seriously since yesterday I heard this ugly news. May God have mercy.

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@DeeOneAyekooto Hahaha. This is baldadash. Arise is the most prominent media in Nigeria today. If you don’t like it you can go and jump into the Atlantic.
The media must hold govt accountable. If that is the offense Arise has committed, so be it.

[Mark Oguh @oguhmark]

@LaceVine @DavidHundeyin Common @LaceVine what are you saying? That a flight authorized to operate private services and for which reason the operation attracts less regulatory charges and less stringent maintenance and training requirements should operate commercial flights? What??
