The Enugu State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2027 election, Uche Nnaji, has signed an undertaking to serve only one term of four years if elected governor.
Nnaji signed the pact on Friday at Akpugo, Nkanu West Local Government Area, during a grand reception organised in his honour by PDP supporters and stakeholders.
The candidate said the decision was in recognition of the existing zoning arrangement in the state, assuring that he would not seek re-election after completing his first term.

According to him, the one-term commitment would enable him to focus on good governance and the implementation of his development agenda without being distracted by the pursuit of a second term.
“I am not interested in perpetuating myself in power. That is not the idea. That is why I said I am not going to disrupt the arrangement that is running, which is zoning of power.
“I am aware that Nkanu has gone for four years. So, being an Nkanu man, I will go for one term. After the one tenure, I’ll go.
“I am going to bring a different approach to governance. My approach will be just for human beings. I am not going to govern for animals. We must have a conscience in governance. Government is said to be of the people, by the people and for the people,” he said.
Nnaji also promised to introduce what he described as a “one-day, one-project” policy, through which his administration would initiate and execute development projects across the state.
He said his ambition was to leave a legacy of rapid development and improved living standards at the end of his four-year tenure.
The PDP candidate appealed to the people of Enugu to support his aspiration, promising that his administration would be people-oriented, transparent, and committed to the development of the state.
