Makinde Advocates Single Term of Six Years for President, Governors
- Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde advocated for a single five- or six-year term for elected officials on Friday, June 6, 2025, at his residence in Ibadan.
- Makinde’s call, aligned with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s 2024 proposal, challenges the current two-term, four-year system in Nigeria and urges constitutional amendment.
- The advocacy followed Eid-el-Kabir prayers at Agodi’s Eid Ground and included visits from Muslim faithful, clerics, traditional rulers, and political figures supporting the idea.
- Makinde extended warm greetings to the Muslim community in celebration of Eid, expressing hope for many more such occasions by God's grace, while Oba Ladoja offered prayers for continued progress and success for the governor's administration.
- This proposal suggests a focused governance period, believing a single six-year term allows governments to serve effectively, and it could influence future constitutional reforms in Nigeria.
