Peter Odii, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for governor in Ebonyi State, has declared his intention to serve only a single four-year term if elected in 2027. Odii stated that he has already planned his agenda to achieve substantial progress within that timeframe.

Odii expressed a strong commitment to eradicating poverty in Ebonyi, asserting that his administration's achievements will speak for themselves. He is confident that the transformation he plans to implement will be clearly visible to the people within the first two years of his tenure.

"I have told God and myself that I want to be the first governor who will not seek re-election after four years," Odii stated.

Within two years, my achievements will speak for themselves, and the people themselves will see the transformation."
