Human rights activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, has thrown his weight behind presidential hopeful Peter Obi’s proposal for a single-term presidency, arguing that Nigeria’s past leaders have wasted longer periods in office without meaningful progress.
“(Olusegun) Obasanjo had eight years; what did he do with it? (Muhammadu) Buhari had eight years; what did he do with it? He ruined Nigeria. (President Bola) Tinubu has had two years, and he is taking us back 50 years.
“So it’s not really about how much time the person spends; it’s a function of what they do with the time that they have,” Farotimi said.
