The House of Representatives has rescinded its earlier resolution where it had passed a Bill for an Act to Alter the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to Provide for the Principle of Rotation of the Offices of the President and the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria among the Six Geopolitical Zones of the Country,
Namely: North Central, North East, North West, South East, South South, and South West and for Related Matters.
The Bill sponsored by the Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu who presided the plenary of the day was however stepped down when it was discovered by members that it was lumped with eight other bills.
Earlier, the bill had generated debate on the floor whereby members who were in support argued that it will cure the long age marginalisation in the country.
But for those with the opposing view, they expressed that it will encourage rivalry among Nigerians.
Following a motion raised by the Chairman, Rules and Business Committee, Hon. Francis Waive, the House resolved that each of the bills be presented separately on the floor on the next legislative day for better understanding of them pertaining to what they seek to cure.
