Chief  Ighoyota Amori, Political Adviser to the Delta Governor, has said that he is in support of President Goodluck Jonathan’s proposal for a single term tenure for the president and governors.

Amori told newsmen in Asaba, on Tuesday, that a four-year term was not enough for any governor or president to achieve any meaningful stride in his set agenda.

He said that in politics, every government spent between one year and two years of the tenure for planning, getting acclimatised and learning how to govern.

The special adviser said that the remaining two years would be spent trying to implement policies and agenda, adding that mega projects took as much as three years or more to complete.

He said, “So with a single term of six years, there will be enough time to implement programmes after which another person takes over.”

The former vice-chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state said that the quest for a second term in office had negative economic consequences on the country.

He also said that repeating election regularly had its own economic problem on both the state and the country at large, as the cost was too expensive.

“But with a single six-year tenure, you have enough period to heal wounds associated with elections, more so, frequent elections are not good for our nascent democracy,” Amori said.
