In Africa, Ghana and Nigeria are the only countries that give their elected Presidents four years to govern the country.
The award-winning actor is not the only person who has suggested a five years presidential term.
Former President John Agyakum Kuffour some years back also made a similar suggestion.
According to him in an interview, he said four years is always insufficient for any new government to work effectively.
He argues that right after an election the elected president uses one year out of the four to settle down and the second year for the last campaign.
He is then left with only two years to execute his promises or policies, which is not enough.
The award-winning actor also argues the same thing.

In a tweet sighted on his page by GhArticles, he wrote; “4 years is not enough for ANY President/ Gov to function effectively. The first year is used to settle down in the office and the last year for the campaign, leaving only 2 years for effective work. We should consider 5 years per term.”
The entrepreneur’s suggestion attracted a lot of mixed reactions from Ghanaians on Twitter.
While some disagreed with his view others believed the actor’s suggestion should be given the necessary consideration while comparing Ghana to Rwanda.
