NDC Chieftain Slams Kalu over Obi’s Four-Year Presidency Proposal

In Enugu, Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) chieftain Peter Agubuzu criticised Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Benjamin Kalu for opposing a proposal attributed to Peter Obi for a single four-year presidential term for the South-East. Kalu said at an APC women’s rally that the Igbo could not afford to wait 60 years for a president who would serve only four years. Agubuzu argued that leaders should focus on economic hardship and the rising cost of living, and defended Obi’s plan to shift Nigeria from consumption to production and reduce poverty. He urged political leaders to seek practical solutions and consider the presidential-term debate in the context of national unity, equity and political inclusion.
