Senator Achonu Pushes for Constitutionalizing Power Rotation to Ensure Stability in Nigerian Governance
Senator Achonu advocates for the constitutionalization of power rotation agreements in Nigeria to ensure lasting inclusivity and stability in governance. He proposes enshrining zoning into the constitution to back the current North-South power rotation practice among the six geopolitical zones.
Achonu emphasizes the need for each zone to have an 8-year uninterrupted presidency term to prevent instability and political tensions. He argues that constitutionalizing the zoning arrangement will guarantee that no zone is marginalized and that the best candidates from every zone participate in each election cycle.
Additionally, he calls for true local government autonomy and constitutional mandates for INEC to conduct local government elections.
