From Jude Chinedu, Enugu
Former Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, has declared that he would serve only a single four-year term if elected governor of Enugu State in the 2027 general elections.
Nnaji made the declaration during a consultative and interactive workshop with his political supporters and grassroots mobilisers drawn from across the state. The meeting, which brought together party leaders, youth groups, women organisations, professionals and other stakeholders, centred on his leadership philosophy, vision for Enugu State and long-term development blueprint.
In what became the highlight of the session, Nnaji told his supporters that his decision to serve only one term was rooted in his commitment to the zoning arrangement in the state.

He said, “I want to state this clearly and without any ambiguity; I will serve only one term of four years if elected governor in 2027.
“This decision is deliberate. It is based on my deep respect for the zoning structure in Enugu State, which has helped to maintain political balance, fairness and unity among our people over the years.
“I am 100 per cent committed to this arrangement. By 2031, Enugu West Senatorial District should produce the next governor, and I have no intention whatsoever to truncate or disrupt that process. Leadership should not be driven by personal ambition but by fairness, equity and the long-term stability of our state.
“As an entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience, I do not need more than four years to reposition Enugu State economically. I have spent decades building businesses, creating jobs and developing industries. That experience has prepared me adequately to deliver transformative leadership within a short time frame,” he said.
