Some lawmakers in the House of Representatives, also called ‘The Reformers, have proposed bills to change the tenure of the president and governors to a single term of six years, as well as the creation of a second vice president.

They are proposing the rotation of the presidency between the North and the South, including other some amendments forming part of six constitutional alteration bills introduced by the lawmakers on the floor of the House.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Ikenga Ugochinyere (PDP, Imo), said the proposed alterations aim to address agitations from different parts of the country, reduce the cost of governance, and promote unity.

Mr Ugochinyere, who was flanked by seven other members of the group, said one of the proposed bills seeks to “amend the Constitution to create the office of two vice presidents from the southern and northern parts of Nigeria. The first vice president shall be a succession vice president, while the second vice president shall be a minister in charge of the economy, and both shall be ministers.”

In addition, the “first vice president” is to emerge from the same region as the president to ensure a smooth transition.

One of the alterations seeks to amend “section 3 of the Constitution to provide for the recognition of the division of Nigeria into six geopolitical zones” and “to provide for the rotation of executive powers among the six geopolitical zones to ensure equal representation and reduce the desperation and tempo of agitation for the creation of states.”
