BREAKING: Reps seek 6-year single tenureship for President and Govs, zonal rotation

A group of lawmakers in the House of Representatives are seeking changes to the 1999 Constitution to allow for the rotation of the presidency among the six geopolitical zones of the country. 

They also want to modify the Constitution to provide for “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.”
