Bill on power rotation suffers set back in Senate

A bill, which seeks to make compulsory provision for power rotation among the six geo-political zones, suffered set back in Senate on Tuesday.

The Bill titled: “A bill for an Act to provide for the rotation of power and for other related matters therein, 2022”, was sponsored by Senator Patrick Abba Moro (PDP – Benue South).

The Bill had come up for second reading at plenary but senators in their contributions opposed it.

Moro, in his lead debate, insisted that there was the need for a law on the rotation of power across the various geographical zones in the country.

He posited that the proposed law would not only promote the principles of equity, fairness and justice among the nation’s geo-political zones but would also ensure a sense of belonging necessary for the nationhood of a heterogeneous country like Nigeria.
