Senate Debates Bill On Rotation Of Power

The Nigerian Senate is debating a bill seeking power rotation between the country's six geopolitical zones.

The bill sponsored by Senator Abba Moro from Benue South, passed its first reading earlier this year.

While some Senators argued that it will bring about unity and a sense of belonging for all especially ethnic minorities, others claimed it goes against the Constitution of Nigeria.

The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan however advised the sponsor of the Bill to stand the Bill down and rework it for representation with specific prayers.
