Ahead of the 2027 general elections, human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana has called on the 2023 presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi to tell Nigerians what he will do for them if voted into power, saying that it is not enough to pledge one-term.

The former Governor of Anambra State, on Sunday, reiterated his vow to serve for four years if elected president in 2027.

Obi, who cited the leadership examples of Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and Nelson Mandela as justification for his pledge, said he does not need eight years to turn the country around.

But speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Monday, Falana told Obi to tell Nigerians of his plans for them.

“Another problem confronting Nigeria as a nation, it is not just enough to say I will be in power for four years. I will be in power for eight years. What do you want to do there?” he said.

Falana also called on the Federal Government to focus on governance and involve the people in their policies.

“As for those who are in power, you have a greater responsibility to concentrate on governance and consult with the people with respect to your policies, so that nobody wakes up one day and says I am going to rename the streets,” Falana said.
