The vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has expressed confidence that the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will honour his pledge to serve only one term if elected in the 2027 presidential election.
Kwankwaso stated this during an interview on News Central’s 60 Minutes with Mr Kay while responding to questions about Obi’s commitment to a single four-year tenure and whether he would seek the presidency after the proposed arrangement.
According to him, Obi has publicly made the promise and should be trusted to keep his word.
“I personally believe Peter Obi is a gentleman and I have every reason to trust him, especially that he said it to the hearing of everybody. Nobody should have any reason to doubt him,” Kwankwaso said.
