Soludo said politicians who promise to serve one term when the constitution allows them to serve for eight years have mental problems.
As reported by Channels Television, Soludo stated this during the Anambra South endorsement rally in support of his second term bid on Saturday, August 2, 2025.
Soludo’s statement is coming a month after Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in 2023, Peter Obi, said he is willing to serve only a single term as Nigeria’s president.
Soludo challenged anyone in support of the notion to tell him where it had ever happened.
He said that the Nigerian Constitution does not limit a person to one term in office but allows for two terms in office.
“How can anybody, anybody with a brain, you think you are talking to fools? You come to people and said, ‘I will do only one term.’ Anybody, any politician who said that must be sent to a psychiatric home, because the person must have some mental problems. When the constitution allows you to stay up to eight years, they would come and tell us, ‘I’m going to serve one term.’ Tell us where it has ever happened?”
MURIC mentions Soludo as future President
Recall that the rights group MURIC asked Nigerians to reject stereotypes and treat fellow citizens based on openness, love, and kindness.
MURIC lauded Soludo, saying he comes across as a suitable candidate for Aso Rock in the near future.
The faith-based advocacy group stressed that genuine national healing can only come under the leadership of a completely detribalised leaders like Soludo.
