Supported and any governor that finish his term should not go for senate or house of rep for 6 years

Single term for President and governors will help stabilize the polity.
it will also reduce political killings and witch hunt
Re: Ekweremadu Canvasses Six-Year Single Term For President, Governors Again by JobmanNwapdp: 12:09pm On Aug 23, 2018
I personally supported this, it will save money, political tention, crises, religion and ethnic hatred, corruptions and providing an avenue to hold every political leader accountable, i think this gusture should be considered.

This silly man. You think six years will be enough for any meaningful development to take place in a country like Nigeria? A silly senator that wasted all his political career in the NA without achieving anything shouldn't be taken serious by sane minds. Hopefully, you and saraki will be retired permanently in 2019. Stealing your constituency money and buying all the luxurious houses in U.S shouldn't be something you should be proud of, Mr deputy Senate president.


Anyway Buhari till 2023 and after Buhari, fashola will takeover from him insha'Allah. And after fashola, hopefully insha'Allah it will be MY TURN

Six years not enough for any meaningful development?

Seriously, what an impact does a leader want to achieve that his successors can not continue?

I Agee with Ekweremadu on this one. One single term of 6-yrs should he enough for any governor or president to achieve tangible things.


Then how many years will you advocate for legislators?

I totally agree with his submission. A one term presidency of 5 years only but in addition to this Senators and Legislators to serve for not more than 2 terms with a pay equal to the minimum wage at any time.

• Says it will substantially reduce the political tensions and executive excesses that come with self-succession



https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2018/08/23/again-ekweremadu-canvasses-six-year-single-term-for-president-govs/amp/


The single term or 5 or 6 years, to me is even more dangerous! I say this because, when they know they have just 1 term to serve in office, they will have nothing at stake, hence be more reckless and every other very negative tendencies they exhibit while in office.

I would rather suggest the terms be reduced to 3 years per term as against the 4 year terms. They can still have their 2 terms. So that the 2 terms will now total 6 years instead of 8 years. This way, hoping to secure another term in office will put them in check of their excesses somewhat. Should they then secure a second term and start acting typical of Nigerian politicians in elected offices, then we know we have just 3 years to contend with their hopelessness.
Re: Ekweremadu Canvasses Six-Year Single Term For President, Governors Again by obailala(m): 12:59pm On Aug 23, 2018
I kind of agree with on this. The wastage, the sycophancy and the distractions that come with politicians seeking 2nd tenure is monumental.
Re: Ekweremadu Canvasses Six-Year Single Term For President, Governors Again by ifiokjohn(m): 12:59pm On Aug 23, 2018
I agree if he mean that a president or govtnor is only entitled to six years limit and can't be reelected back.
In otherwords this tension we face will hardly be there..Nicenone ekweremadu

Six years is long enough to tolerate anyman or woman and to mark them for Performance and/or Impeachment.

But 8yrs is too small right?

It is in the best interest of the nation. This will surely save Nigeria from these back n front recycling of weak and ineffective politicians

I am NEVER in support of buhari because I think he hasn't helped Nigeria at all in terms of development instead Nigeria is retrogressive, neither do I support ekwremadu 6yrs single term cause it wud not help Nigeria, if a gov or President is not able to perform more within 4yrs tenure then I see no reason why he wud perform within 6yrs, I believe that will even give them an opportunity of not performing at all since they have nothing to loose, no 2nd term that wud have ginger dem to work within their first 4yrs in office. I sure the reason while most of our politicians are agitating for 6yrs tenure is because they are selfish and have nothing to offer this country, it is just for them to make moni for themselves. let's not folo all dis our politicians like mumu because they are cankerworm. PLEASE NIGERIANS SHOULD VOTE WISELY. I sure from November till December till February 2019 when will start experiencing change minimum wage will be improved, youth corps allowance will be improved, things will start to work well, but all this will be to confuse and deceive the Nigeria populace. winning election will be the outmost priority of the rulling party, but after election NIGERIANS WILL SMELL PEPPER IF They VOTE FOR THE WRONG CANDIDATE FULL of deceit, blames and excuses. SHINE UR EYES

And senators/ house of reps?

I'll comment on this when a 6-year one term is being proposed for all public offices and the cost of governance reduced.

What are you saying young man? The man is 100% guilty. Why do you think he doesn't want to leave the NA and wants to be the senator representing his constituency all his life? The immunity he enjoys is the only thing that has stopped EFCC from apprehending the criminal. I'm telling you this because is the truth. Anytime he leaves the NA, I bet you, he will be arrested within 30 minutes.
guy safe ur strength that is not coming back to that houx believe said baba will deal with dem
Re: Ekweremadu Canvasses Six-Year Single Term For President, Governors Again by XXCASH: 5:39pm On Aug 23, 2018
Best Idea ever. Please, let us all support and spread this around.

1) Single term of 6 years
Benefits: Reduce election cost, more time for governance, no longer bothered with power of incumbency

2) Rotation of power in the constitution
Benefits: Peace across geo-political zones, unity as people are now forced to have a candidate from a particular zone every election cycle, sense of belonging knowing power rotates

With the above items, Nigeria will grow at a faster pace as security will improve very well

Later we can look for ways to reduce legislators pay

Regionalism and a weak center is the way for Nigeria to move forward. If you like restructure, it wouldn't work because of weak states that don't have anything.

Everyone can see it's not because he wants anybody to have one term in office. This will eventually remove the urge to rig elections by incumbents to get second terms
Re: Ekweremadu Canvasses Six-Year Single Term For President, Governors Again by Nobody: 9:35pm On Aug 23, 2018
I totally agree with him. He has been drawing attention to this second term menace. The situation in Nigeria is a winner takes all which makes second term a do or die affair. Single term of 6 yrs is OK.
Re: Ekweremadu Canvasses Six-Year Single Term For President, Governors Again by lereinter(m): 5:53am On Aug 24, 2018

we want two unconsecutive term
