Kennedy, saying their brief tenures continue to inspire generations worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>He also referred to former South African President, Nelson Mandela, who chose to serve only one term despite overwhelming public pressure to remain in office.<\/p>\n<p>Obi said Mandela\u2019s decision was a deliberate example of leadership that places public service above personal ambition.<\/p>\n<p>He warned that history has shown how many African leaders get corrupted the longer they stay in power.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, longevity in office does not equate to successful leadership, but purposeful and accountable service, no matter how short.<\/p>\n<p>Obi reiterated that his vow to serve only four years, if elected, remains sacrosanct and is not up for negotiation.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cI will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former Anambra State governor acknowledged the level of distrust Nigerians have towards politicians, attributing it to years of broken promises.<\/p>\n<p>Obi noted that trust has become one of the scarcest values in the nation, but maintained that integrity is still achievable in public service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word,\u201d Obi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He disclosed that two recent comments indirectly challenged his one-term pledge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn\u2019t be believed,\u201d Obi stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Obi said those doubting his commitment are judging him by their own standards, where political promises are easily broken.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He said his track record in Anambra is a testament to his integrity, as he fulfilled his promises on education, healthcare, rural infrastructure, and prudent fund management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Obi maintained that his vow to serve only one term is a solemn commitment, founded on the belief that transparent leadership doesn\u2019t require an eternal stay in office.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cIf making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Obi stated unequivocally that if elected, he would not spend an extra day beyond four years in office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed the need to rebuild public trust in governance, saying his entire public career has been devoted to showing that integrity in leadership is achievable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances,\u201d Obi said.<\/p>\n<p>Obi asserted that forty-eight months is sufficient for any focused leader to deliver meaningful change.<\/p>\n<p>He outlined his agenda, which includes sanitising the governance system and addressing insecurity through effective and accountable deployment of national resources.<\/p>\n<p>Obi also pledged to prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation, while catalysing small businesses as drivers of economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>He vowed to combat corruption with unwavering resolve and foster a productive economy based on agriculture, technology, and manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbove all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one,\u201d Obi stated.<\/p>\n<p>He insisted that his goals are practical and achievable within four years, not utopian fantasies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years,\u201d Obi said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obi said politicians doubting his vow judge him by standards where political promises are frequently broken and abandoned.
