Presidential Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has questioned the credibility of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s promise to serve only one term if elected president.
Onanuga referenced Obi’s political history, alleging that the former Anambra State governor had previously pledged loyalty to the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, before later leaving the party.
The presidential aide further alleged that Obi had moved across different political platforms over the years.
In a post on his X handle, Onanuga said “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.
“By his own actions, Peter Obi has shown that his word cannot be trusted. His promises are as fleeting as his political allegiances.”
GISTSMATE MEDIA recalls that Obi had last week defected to the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, alongside Rabiu Kwankwaso from the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
They are expected to hold a joint ticket on the NDC platform, with Kwankwaso as Obi’s running mate.
During its National Convention held in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, on May 9, the NDC zoned its presidential ticket to the South.
It said this is for a single term and that it would return to the North in 2031.
Observers see this move as an effort by the party to convince the North that Obi’s one term pledge would stand.
