File: Peter Obi and Kwankwaso
The vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Rabiu Kwankwaso, says he believes the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will honour his pledge to serve only one four-year term if elected in 2027, revealing that both men signed a written agreement to that effect.
Kwankwaso disclosed this during an interview aired on Channels Television on Monday, where he said the agreement provides that power would return to the North after a single four-year tenure.
Asked whether Obi’s commitment to serving only four years was “sacrosanct,” Kwankwaso said he had no reason to doubt the former Anambra State governor.
“Oh yes, I personally believe him and… I don’t think, based on what I now know about him… he will change his mind when the time comes, and we are all gentlemen, even though we have accepted to put it on paper,” he said.
