Former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, has declared that he needs only one four-year term to place Enugu State on the path of recovery, reconstruction, and industrialisation if elected governor in 2027.
Nnaji, who recently secured the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship ticket for the state, stated this while outlining his vision for Enugu State.
He also stressed his financial independence and commitment to public service, noting that he has no interest in remaining in office beyond a single tenure.
“I am so rich, if they understand that I am so rich, then they will know that I do not have any need to rule.
“I am coming for recovery to recover Enugu State, rebuild Enugu State, and 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 enjoyment to live. I have always been a very quiet man; I am an introvert.”
The PDP governorship candidate contrasted his approach with that of politicians who seek extended years in office.
According to him, politicians who desire prolonged tenures often demonstrate a lack of focus and productivity.
“Politics is not enjoyment, but I am coming for recovery; that is what I am here for. People who need eight years or 100 years are people who would not do any work,” he stated.
