The governor of Oyo State Engr. Seyi Makinde has canvassed for a single term for elective office holders in Nigeria.
Makinde made this call in his reaction to the statement of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN President, Bishop Wale Oke.
Oke had said that in PFN there is no second term in the leadership in his welcome address during the opening ceremony of this year’s National Executive Retreat of the PFN held in Ibadan, with the governor in attendance.
Speaking, the latter said the PFN President’s statement was a welcome news to him that worth adoption by the political class.
His word, “I am hearing for the first time that there is no second term in the PFN. Maybe, we need to learn one or two things from that arrangement for our nation. I am a supporter of a single-term structure. As a matter of fact, I did not want any second term and I told the fathers of faith that four years is not enough to do everything that you want to do but it is long enough to make your own impact and go your own way.
“If we get an opportunity to discuss this, I think five or six years in a single term, maybe five years will really be enough for most of us to do whatever it is that we are supposed to do.”
