Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has reacted to the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, that powerful interests in the political space will make it difficult for presidents to fulfil the promise of serving one term.
Sule, during an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television on Friday, warned Obi and other aspirants against underestimating the complexities of governance in Nigeria.
According to him, while a president might intend to serve only two years or a single term, the reality of the office and the political environment often make it nearly impossible to solve even a fraction of Nigeria’s problems within four years.
“Peter Obi might say he wants to do one term, but it is not up to him.
“Once he assumes office, powerful interests will pressure him, saying, ‘It’s our turn; you cannot do that to us,’ ‘we cannot allow you to do that,’ and ‘we will take you to court if you do that,” Sule said.
