BREAKING: Reps seek six-year tenure for president, rotation among zones

 

A group of lawmakers in the House of Representatives is seeking amendments to the 1999 Constitution to enable the rotation of the Presidency among the six geopolitical zones of the country.

They are also advocating for a constitutional amendment to establish a single six-year term for the President and Governors of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Speaking on behalf of the group on Monday in Abuja, Ikenga Ugochinyere, the representative for Ideato South/Ideato North Federal Constituency in Imo State, stated, "The reduction in government spending and wastage, efficiency in governance, and national stability by providing a single term of six years for the President and Governors will significantly contribute to cost-cutting measures."
