Thanks to hear this from you sir. This is one part of our foolishness I’ve made candid efforts to highlight over the years with no affection from almost around here.
The stupid four years presidential term in our constitutions is one of the fundamental flaws in our development agendas. The four years solely based on western practices only accelerate our dystopia of political development. Such a short period is only good for westerners who have already attained higher levels of enlightment, stable or developed economies and highly sustained social justices’ system that works without the Buharian democratic dictatorial convergence of martial law and feudalism.
Sadly enough, the first two years of all our leadership reigns are spent on creating cohesion whilst struggling to reconvene our national attention toward development - development that is mostly driven by external donors. Worst still is funding for our elections- again donor driven, the tribal politics which is never healed until the next election circle.
So, the Four years period is not only a full-blown waste of our meagre resources but a cog in the wheel to development. Seven years is enough for any leader to establish his style, formulate policies and implement them.
Just create a constitutional provision that ensures that any leader serving his seven years term will not be eligible to run for another presidency until the end of term of his of his successor . He may run for the legislature at his/her own discretion.
