Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana has labelled diversionary the debate of a single term of four years proposed by politicians, including the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate and opposition arrowhead, Peter Obi.<\/p>\n

Falan asked the politicians to focus on solving the problems of insecurity, electricity outages, hunger, among others, that militate against average Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Falana gave this charge on Monday when he featured on \u2018Politics Today\u2019 a programme on the Channels Television.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to join the campaign for power shift or power remaining in one part of the country for four years or eight years. No, that\u2019s diversionary,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

It will be recalled that Obi has restated his decision to serve for a single-term of four years to complete the unwritten rule of eight-year power rotation between the southern and northern regions of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
