A group of lawmakers in the House of Representatives is advocating for changes to the 1999 Constitution to enable the rotation of the Presidency among Nigeria’s six geo-political zones.
They are also pushing for an amendment to establish a single six-year tenure for the President and Governors of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Ikenga Ugochinyere, representing Ideato South/Ideato North Federal Constituency in Imo State, who spoke on behalf of the group on Monday in Abuja, “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 go a long way in cost-cutting measures.”
