Six-year Single Term For Presidents, Govs by Jegede26: 4:10am On Jun 22, 2013
Is this six-year single terms for Presidents and Governors a good idea?

It is horrible, there is no upside to it but in Nigeria when things aren't working we simply change whatever random thing we can in the hope that by some miracle it will fix likely unrelated problems.

I believe it's a very bad idea cos for the two term thing, they try to perform in the first term so that they can be voted in for the nxt term. But six years at a go, with nothing to loose. Dangerous!!!!!

With 6 yrs single term and 2 party system, pdp and apc. Nigeria will be swinging between both parties every few years.

That will have several benefits
politicians can settle down and work without the distraction of second term politics.

The role of godfathers will be minimized as office holders can call their bluff knowing they will not be needing support from the godfathers for a second term bid.

It will make politics saner. Fewer people will want to spend billions on sponsoring a candidate who can easily defy them on assuming office.

The 6yr single term is a good move. The other alternative will be to give the right to 1st refusal to the office holder to get them immune from the distraction of second term politics
