Presidency Questions Peter Obi’s One-Term Commitment in 2027

Presidential Adviser on Information and Strategy Bayo Onanuga has challenged the credibility of former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi’s pledge to serve only one term if elected president.

Onanuga cited Obi’s political past, noting that the former Anambra State governor had once pledged loyalty to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) before later leaving the party.

The aide further pointed out that Obi has shifted between different political platforms over the years.

In a post on his X account, Onanuga wrote: “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.”
