Senate debates bill on rotation of power

Debate has commenced at the Nigerian senate over a bill that seeks an act to provide for the rotation of power between the six geopolitical zones of the country.

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.
