Voice Air Media, VAM News Update

Some House of Representatives members are seeking alterations to the 1999 Constitution to pave the way for the rotation of the Presidency among the six geo-political zones of the country.

The group 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.

The member representing Ideato South/Ideato North Federal Constituency, Imo State, Ikenga Ugochinyere, while
speaking on behalf of the group on Monday in Abuja, 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.”
