Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has advocated a single term of six years for elected political office holders across all levels of government in Nigeria, as against the current double term of four years each.
Makinde noted that a single term of five or six years was enough for any government to focus and serve the people, and deliver on its mandate.
He called for a constitutional amendment to effect this.
The Oyo State Governor was speaking when Muslim faithful, including clerics, traditional rulers and political office holders, paid a visit to his Ikolaba, Ibadan residence, shortly after the Eid-el-Kabir prayers, held at the Eid Ground, Agodi, Ibadan.
He said politicians spend almost one year campaigning all over the place for the second tenure, a time he said should be dedicated to the development of the people.
He insisted that the time politicians are serious with governance is five out of eight years.
He said though his proposal was a constitutional issue, it was a model that should work for the country.
