Kogi Assembly's Yusuf Proposes Law for Power Rotation

The Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Aliyu Umar Yusuf, announced plans to enact a law that would provide a legal framework for power rotation in Kogi State.

This announcement was made at the Kogi Power Rotation Summit in Lokoja, attended by various stakeholders, including traditional rulers, religious leaders, and community representatives. Yusuf stated that the Assembly would pass a law on power rotation, urging those opposed to seek legal recourse.

The proposed legislation aims to institutionalize power rotation among the state's three senatorial districts, moving the discussion from advocacy to a statutory framework. The Kogi Unity Accord, a non-partisan platform, organized the summit to promote dialogue on equity and political participation.

The summit, chaired by former Chief of Defence Intelligence Vice Admiral Joseph Ajayi (retd.), will continue discussions on political inclusion and shared prosperity. The success of the proposed law will depend on legislative processes and stakeholder consultations.
