Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Aisha Yesufu, a former co-convener of BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, has affirmed that a member of the opposition coalition, Peter Obi would only be President for one term if elected.<\/p>\n

Yesufu disclosed that Obi affirmed his position of one term presidency to her personally.<\/p>\n

She said the former Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate has always drawn inspiration from South African Nelson Mandela regarding the issue of one term presidency.<\/p>\n

Posting on X, she recalled telling Obi during the campaign for the 2023 presidential election that Nigerians won\u2019t allow him do just one term in office as President.<\/p>\n

Yesufu wrote: \u201cI, Aisha Yesufu can confirm that Mr Peter Gregory Obi has always said he would do just a term even before the 2023 election. I used to argue with him that one term is not enough and he can\u2019t just refuse to contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cInfact I told him on several occasions while we were campaigning in 2022 that the people will not allow him to do just a term. He would use Nelson Mandela as example. He would explain that if one was ready to really work that a term was more than enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told him that I was going to speak of his promise to do one term only publicly and I needed his confirmation on doing a term as my integrity mattered to me and I wouldn\u2019t want to say something and it turns out not to be so.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr Peter Obi once again gave me his word that he was going to do only one term.\u201d<\/p>\n
