Makinde says he would serve only four years as president
Naija News reported that Makinde vowed to serve only four years if elected (Naija News; allAfrica, Arise, Blueprint for the earlier Lafia pledge). He has proposed a single six-year term (Channels TV, 2025). The Saturday venue was not confirmed.
Term-length pledges are an easy way to stand out from incumbents.
Promises are not binding; judge the programme.
Supporters say it signals seriousness about reform.
Critics say it is a slogan with no enforcement.
Watch for the detail of the "transitional government" idea he described in September.
