A coalition of lawmakers in the House of Representatives is advocating for a significant overhaul of the 1999 Constitution, with a focus on introducing a rotational presidency system among Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.
Their proposed constitutional amendments include the implementation of a single, non-renewable six-year term for both the President and Governors of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Speaking on behalf of the group in Abuja on Monday, Ikenga Ugochinyere, the representative for Ideato South/Ideato North Federal Constituency in Imo State, underscored the potential benefits of these changes, including reduced government expenditure, improved governance effectiveness, and enhanced national stability.
