Several members of the House of Representatives are attempting to make changes to the 1999 Constitution to allow for the Presidency to be rotated among the nation’s six geopolitical zones.
They also want an amendment to the Constitution to provide for a
single tenure of six years for the President and Governors of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
On Monday in Abuja, speaking on behalf of the group, the member
Ikenga Ugochinyere, who is the representative for the Deato South/Deato North Federal Constituency in Imo State, stated that “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.
