Don’t Trust Peter Obi’s One-Term Presidency Promise – FG

Peter Obi

The Presidency has blasted former presidential candidate Peter Obi over his renewed promise to serve only one term if elected president. The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, recently had his say via X while reacting to Obi’s recent interview on News Central Television.

Emphasising that Obi’s political history shows that his words cannot be trusted, he accused the former Labour Party presidential candidate of constantly abandoning political allegiances and reneging on past commitments.

He added that despite pledging loyalty to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) while serving as Governor of Anambra State, Obi later left the party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

His words, “If you believe Peter Obi’s promise to serve only one term as president, you’ll believe anything.

Consider his record: while in APGA, he famously placed himself under a self-curse, vowing never to leave the party that made him governor. He gave his word to the Ikemba, even on his deathbed, swearing loyalty and fidelity to APGA.

Yet, Peter Obi’s pledges have always been short-lived. He ultimately abandoned APGA for the PDP, and since then, he has drifted from one political platform to another—a political rolling stone.

By his own actions, Peter Obi has shown that his word cannot be trusted. His promises are as fleeting as his political allegiances.

It’s only two years that someone used to borrow more than all the previous governments put together. It’s only two years that Nigeria has entered into the hungriest country in the world. A preident of nigeria can stay in Abuja and 200 people die in Jos or in Niger or Bneue and you’re stull sitting here.

When you go to theatres of war, you know how to contribute. So they’ve failed in everything. I said Ukraine, which is at war, is donating grain to Nigeria. Look at what happened to us with our farmers. Instead of intervening when there was a crisis, we went to import food and killed all the farmers.”

WOW.
