Gov Makinde Advocates Single 5-year Tenure for Political Office Holders

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State is making a case for a single year term for political leaders, saying the nation needs to take a cue from the single term leadership of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN.

The governor, who won a second term in March, said this while reacting to PFN’s National President, Bishop Wale Oke’s claim that there is no second term in the leadership of the association.

The Bishop said this while delivering his welcome address during the opening ceremony of this year’s National Executive Retreat of PFN held in Ibadan, Oyo capital.

Speaking, Governor Makinde said Nigeria needs to learn from the single term arrangement.

According to him, four years may not be enough to achieve one’s aims but it is enough to make an impact.

He continued by saying when the opportunity arises for discussion on the topic, it would be realized that five or six years is enough to do whatever one proposes to do
