RE: SENATOR ROCHAS OKOROCHA’S REMARKS ON PETER OBI’S SINGLE-TERM COVENANT
We have reviewed Senator Rochas Okorocha’s comments on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
We accept his description of Peter Obi as “a fantastic gentleman; clear in his head.” On the claim that a single term is “a four-year gambling,” we respectfully disagree.
Section 135(2) of the 1999 Constitution provides that a President shall leave office after four years and may seek a further four years. In law, “may” is permissive, not mandatory. A single term is therefore constitutional. It is not a gamble.
Nigeria already tested an eight-year tenure between 2015 and 2023. The result was rising inflation, a weakened naira, soaring public debt, widespread poverty, and insecurity across the country. That is the real balance sheet of prolonged tenure without performance.
Peter Obi’s offer is a performance bond, not a gamble. He has pledged to serve one term, to be judged strictly by results, and to hand over power in 2031 in recognition that it is the turn of the North. This is sacrifice for national stability.
Leadership is measured by impact, not duration. Nigeria’s problem has never been insufficient time. It has been the repeated failure to use time well. Mr. Obi proposes to reverse that culture: one term dedicated entirely to delivery.
When a man entitled to eight years voluntarily chooses four and invites the nation to judge him by results, he is not gambling. He is sacrificing.
This is not a gamble. It is a rescue mission with a deadline.

ENUGU STATE: LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE AND BUILDING A UNITED NIGERIA
Following yesterday’s (29th October) town hall meeting in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, I proceeded to Enugu State, where we held another town hall meeting as part of our ongoing nationwide engagement.
I was joined by my brother and Vice Presidential Candidate of our party, the NDC, His Excellency, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
In Enugu, we met with our teeming supporters and enthusiastic citizens who lined the streets and besieged the venue in their numbers.
In our conversations, including the contributions from our Vice Presidential Candidate and me, we reiterated our commitment to uniting and securing the country, tackling corruption, massively investing in critical areas of development, particularly health and education, and pulling our people out of poverty.
Shortly before the town hall event, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and I met with the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Enugu Chapter, where we reaffirmed our commitment to national unity, religious harmony and peaceful coexistence.
Leadership must be about listening to the people. Those seeking to lead must understand what Nigerians need and be willing to receive feedback on the impact of government policies and decisions.
I thank our teeming supporters, party members and organisers for their dedication and commitment. I also thank the good people of Enugu State for their warm reception.
A New Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK! -PO
Co-founder was hinting about us going for a third child.
The look I gave her.
My family have a history of having multiples in the second or third attempts.
I have escaped the second. There's no way I am tempting fate.
I told you the energy Yorubas are bringing in to the OK Movement dey scare me you think I am joking right?
Just look at this, and ShamSodium and his group are doing this Pro Bono 😭😭😭
If you know how we can reachout to him and support kindly let me know
Umahi cannot pull this Peter Obi's type of crowd unannouced even as a 2x former governor. Mind you, this is not even a campaign. Obi just breezed into Ebonyi to show Umahi small street credibility. Obi literally owns Ebonyi.
Please, this should be an advice to our party coordinators.
I know we usually copy Peter Obi's campaign strategy in campaign.
But, please nobody should copy this market-to-market campaign ooo.
As a Tinubu supporter, if you try this kind market campaign, you fit land in the ICU.
