The House of Representatives has rejected a bill seeking a six-year single term for Nigeria’s presidency.
Naija News reports that the bill sought to amend the 1999 constitution to provide for a single term of six years for the Offices of the President, State Governors and Local Government Area Chairmen.
The bill is aimed at curbing wastages occasioned by four years of periodic elections.
The bill, which passed its first reading four months ago and slated for a second reading, was rejected during Thursday’s plenary session.
