Governor Bago Sparks National Debate, Calls for Single-Term Presidency and Governorship

Описание: Niger State Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago has ignited a nationwide conversation after openly calling for a single, non-renewable term for governors and the President of Nigeria. Speaking during the swearing-in of new appointees, Bago admitted that the quest for second-term re-election often weakens leadership, discouraging tough but necessary decisions in order to protect political interests.

According to the governor, fear of re-election has eroded discipline in governance, slowed development, and shifted focus from public service to political survival. His remarks have resonated with many Nigerians and key stakeholders, who argue that a single-term system would reduce corruption linked to campaign funding, eliminate distractions, and allow leaders to concentrate fully on governance.

Supporters also point out that the proposal is not new, noting that similar recommendations emerged from past constitutional reform efforts, including the 2014 National Conference. Calls are now growing for constitutional amendments, with advocates insisting that a single-term structure would strengthen accountability, encourage bold leadership, and support long-term national development planning.
