A group of lawmakers in Nigeria’s House of Representatives is advocating for significant changes to the 1999 Constitution. The proposed amendments aim to rotate the Presidency among the six geo-political zones and establish a single six-year tenure for the President and Governors.
Speaking on behalf of the group in Abuja, Ikenga Ugochinyere, representing Ideato South/Ideato North Federal Constituency in Imo State, emphasized the benefits of these changes. “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,” he stated.
Further details of the proposed amendments are expected to be released soon.
