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

A group of MPs in the House of Representatives is seeking changes to the 1999 Constitution to allow for the rotation of the presidency among the country’s six geopolitical zones.

They also want to modify the Constitution to provide “a single tenure of six years for the President and Governors of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Speaking on behalf of the group on Monday in Abuja, the member representing Ideato South/Ideato North Federal Constituency, Imo State, Ikenga Ugochinyere, said, “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.”
