The governor of Anambra state, Chukwuma Soludo, has hit out at politicians promising to serve only one term in office.
Soludo has claimed that any politician pledging to serve only one term in office needs to undergo a psychiatric test.
He stated this on Saturday during a political rally held in Anambra South in support of his second-term ambition.
The governor questioned the logic behind such a promise, insisting that the Nigerian Constitution allows elected public officials to serve two terms, not just one.
“How can anybody with a functioning brain say that? Do you think you’re speaking to fools?
“You come to people and say you will do only one term, any politician who says that must be sent to a psychiatric home because the person must have some mental problem,” Soludo said.
This is coming a month after Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State called for a single-term tenure of six years.
