Uzor-Kalu said single-term for leaders would help reduce the cost of governance.
According to the former governor, such a plan would also foster rapid growth across states and the nation as a whole.
He added that the current two-term of four years per tenure is expensive and a distraction for the leaders who spent their entire time planning and restrategising for the reelection.
He said, “When you become a governor or a president, their eyes are on re-election.
“They are not even thinking about what people will do or what people will get. Every politician is looking for re-election.
“So, the only way to solve this problem is by giving no incentive to anybody, doing one term of six years.
Uzor-Kalu said the move would go a long way to improve development and boost performance among leaders across the nation.
“It will go a long way in boosting performance because most of people think they need to make money for re-election,” he said.

President Donald Trump on Monday signed a series of executive orders addressing immigration, climate policies, and international relations.
The actions also included controversial pardons and reversals of previous administration policies.
Immigration Policies
Trump declared a national emergency at the southern border and announced plans for a large-scale deportation operation involving military resources. He signed an order to revoke birthright citizenship, a move expected to face legal challenges, as citizenship for those born in the U.S. is protected by the Constitution pardons for several individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. He referred to those convicted or who pleaded guilty as “hostages” and justified the pardons as a gesture to his supporters.
Diversity and Inclusion
Trump repealed several orders promoting diversity, equality, and LGBTQ rights. He announced that the federal government would only recognize “two genders, male and female,” rolling back protections introduced under previous administrations.
Climate Policies
Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, marking his second exit from the accord. He justified the decision by emphasizing energy independence and signed an order declaring a “national energy emergency,” expanding oil and gas drilling across the nation.
Work-from-Home Policies
Another executive order ended remote work allowances for federal employees, requiring them to return to full-time office schedules. Trump criticized the work-from-home model that became prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
International Relations
Trump signed an order to withdraw the U.S. from the World Health Organization, claiming the country was contributing more financially than China. He also delayed enforcing a ban on TikTok, giving its Chinese parent company 75 days to sell a significant stake to U.S. entities.
Additionally, Trump revoked sanctions against Israeli settlers accused of violence in the West Bank and removed Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, reversing actions taken by the Biden administration.
