According to a report by Punch News on Thursday, May 14, 2026, Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, has reacted to the statement made by Peter Obi about serving just one term. He said that if people believe Peter Obi’s promise to serve only one term as president, they can believe anything.
In his words, he said, “If you believe Peter Obi’s promise to serve only one term as president, you’ll believe anything.”
Onanuga argued that Peter Obi’s political pledges have proven transient. Having departed APGA for the PDP, he has since shifted allegiance across multiple platforms. He added that Peter Obi’s own actions prove his word can’t be trusted. His promises vanish as quickly as his party loyalties.
Obi ran as the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in 2023 and placed third, behind APC’s President Bola Tinubu and PDP’s former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. Many view his political journey as a series of strategic moves rather than a commitment to principles.
