Former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, has declared that he requires only a single four-year term to set Enugu State on the path to recovery, reconstruction, and industrialisation if elected governor in 2027.
Nnaji, who recently secured the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship ticket for the state, made the remarks while reeling out his vision for Enugu.
H also emphasised his personal financial independence and commitment to public service without the desire for prolonged tenure.
“I am so rich, if they understand I am so rich, then they’ll know that I don’t have any need to rule.
“I am coming for recovery, to recover Enugu State, to rebuild Enugu State and to industrialise Enugu State,” Nnaji said.
He added: “I don’t need more than four years; what am I doing in four years? I have my life and my enjoyment to live. I have been a very quiet man, I am an introvert.”
The PDP governorship candidate contrasted his approach with that of politicians who seek extended time in office.
Nnaji argued that the act of politicians seeking longer time in office only signals a lack of focus and productivity.
“Politics is not enjoyment, but I am coming for recovery, that’s what I am here for. People who need eight years, 100 years are people who would not do any work,” he stated.
