Controversy Trails House of Reps Proposal For Six-Year Presidential Tenure with Zone Rotation
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

At the House of Representatives, a group of lawmakers are seeking alterations to the 1999 Constitution to lay the foundation for the rotation of the Presidency among the six geo-political zones of the country.

They had also called for 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.”

What They’re Saying

Ikenga Ugochinyere, the member representing Ideato South/Ideato North Federal Constituency, Imo State, who spoke on behalf of the group on Monday had 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.”

Why It Matters

Introducing a single six-year term for the president and governors will no doubt disrupt the established rhythm of governance. Without the prospect of a re-election, the appointed officials may lack the incentive to prioritize the long-term interests of the country over short-term gains, leading to instability and a lack of accountability.

Additionally, the zone rotation plan will serve to exacerbate the system of political favoritism already rife in the country.

Implementing such a significant constitutional amendment in a country of multi-diverse country without comprehensive analysis and public consultation carries the risk of unforeseen consequences of which the outcome would not be seen until after the changes are enacted.
