The Arewa Consultative Forum has rejected Peter Obi’s proposed one-term presidency, while also expressing strong criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s handling of national affairs.
The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has rejected the one-term presidency proposal put forward by the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, Mr. Peter Obi, describing the pledge as unrealistic within the realities of Nigeria’s political and governance landscape.
The position marks another intervention by the northern socio-political body in the evolving national conversation ahead of future electoral contests. While dismissing Obi’s promise, the forum also directed criticism at the administration of President Bola Tinubu, characterising its performance as shambolic.
The development places renewed attention on competing political narratives already shaping discussions around leadership, governance and national expectations. At a time when political actors are increasingly outlining future visions and commitments, questions around feasibility, continuity and performance remain central to public debate.
Although the forum’s comments focused on Obi’s one-term proposal, its criticism of the current administration suggests broader concerns extending beyond electoral promises to the overall direction of governance.
The remarks add another layer to ongoing political engagements as parties and political figures continue to position themselves within Nigeria’s changing political landscape.
