A bill that seeks to provide for the rotation of power among the six geo-political zones and districts in the country on Tuesday suffered a setback in the Nigerian Senate. The bill, sponsored by Senator Abba Moro (PDP-Benue South) was titled, 'A Bill for an Act to provide for Rotation of Power and for other related matters therein, 2022.'

September 27, 2022The Benue Senator told his colleagues that the proposed law was not intended for the 2023 elections having realised that the 2023 polls would have been over by the time the bill runs its full cycle.

Senator Abba Moro was done with his lead debate on the bill before he requested to be allowed to step down the bill for further consultation, to avert an apparent situation in which the bill could have been defeated, Mohammed Isa, Special Assistant to the Senate President, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.

Senator Abba Moro reminded his colleagues that the Federal Character Principle in the constitution"requires fair and equitable representation of different ethnic and regional groups in the composition of all tiers of government”. "The way forward to bring about political stability in the country and to give every section, zone or group a sense of belonging and inclusion is to embrace rotation of political power with open arms," he said.

Speaking against the bill, Senator Bala Ibn Na'Allah said,"We never had a bill of this nature for Goodluck Jonathan to emerge as President.

Wicked souls everywhere

Why?!!!

One liegeria

It's better we have rotational presidency. It wil solve most of our political problems.

This is democracy rejected today, it may pass tomorrow. Peace.

This people should please let everyone go there own ways..we can never be one as a country happily 🇳🇬.. is this how the younger once will continue there life's and end up like this old wicked/ heartless and selfish people's all in the name of a country...in this Short time life.

Governing Nigeria is not a Rocket Science, there are so many competent people that can rule Nigeria perfectly in all the Geopolitical zones. Equity demands for rotational presidency, if not, the minority tribes will not smell the sit of power.

The presidency must be rotated so that everyone in Nigeria can have a sense of belonging. When you do the right thing, your heart will at peace. Always learn to share with your 'so called' brothers.👬

They would reject it because they are thiev£s

Referendum is more better than 2023 election.

This bill is well needed esp based on how Nigeria is going right now. This should be the best thing to happen to Nigeria if this highly commendable bill is adopted. It's unfortunate that our selfish politician esp those from the zone befitting for so long form this contraption..

Why won't they reject it... 🐄 heads....

And someone will be telling me that I'm from the North. Okay.

Nice one senator's 👍

This is not time to beg any unfortunate begger things will sure change and let them reject it a million times now but things gonn sure change

If that is rejected, dividing Nigeria into six nation shouldn't be that hard, awon olé senators, non of them have love for the nation. Everybody should go their own say, yoruba nation, Biafra nation etc.

It wl be difficult for such a favorable bill to be accepted/passed by d senate(they were given more constituencies)cos 3/4 of d senate is made up of d north n wt their 'born to rule' mentality,they wldnt want others to lead too...this country is not well structured truth be told

Let every region go there separate ways, to avoid problems

Yet it is one Nigeria

What do you expect when the majority are cheaters.

Hahaha Hahaha hhhhhhm autopilot government biafra or biafra that's your saviour else 🤣 😆 😄

Those Shouting Obi cherere nche! Can you now see that Obi is handicap? He CANNOT cough. The majority (foolani) will Stop him. Mad pipo everywhere 🤦🏽‍♂️

Okay nah

OKAY

Hahahhahahhahahah, zoo will always be zoo

Too late! What were they doing all this time? Useless people!

Unbelievable!!

Why are they rejecting the progress and unity of this nation at the same time collecting huge amount of money for this rubbish

Bad people, they don't have the interest of the Country at heart.

I can bet the who the traitors are. Saboteurs of our national development.

We have only North and south in Nigeria

And that means nothing like one Nigeria

I told you Nigeria is not one.

They rejected it cos they are devils. Nigeria greatest problem and enemies are our leaders.

In the true sense, I think it would have been a good one if passed because of how diverse and peculiar Nigeria is, however, I believe a true federal system or a confederal system will suite Nigeria best

Let us divide the country then, hence we failed to accept to live together

Superior argument. The zoo called Nigeria is heading to obli-vion

We don't need to be told those that rejected the bill.

Can you imagine these guys. These people don't mean well for this country Gaskiya.

Jux_uyomi Of course, they will. One Nigeria in the mud!

one nigeria in the mud. divide nigeria already.

This is why they initiated 'OPERATION POWER SHOOT' which we're no more talking about today. Our country needs restructuring and our constitutions revisited

Rejected by the north- Simple

I support because it is undemocratic in a way. The failure of the North as leaders is enough for us to search from the rest of the country. We should stop supporting mediocrity and failures.

Nigerian Senate is a joke!

They will. Because they lack equity, fairness and justice sense. They can only be happy when things are not right, just for their selfish gains. God bless 2023

Can you blame them, when they are been hand pick by their godfather

If Nigerians decide to vote any seating Rep/Senate member currently in this regime come 2023. Then I’d know how st^pid Nigerians are. These people are they problem collectively. People who have decided to be enemies of the state occupying offices they act against.

gerrycool007 Of course the set of Senators we hv their now will never pass that bill. My own view is: it should rotate for equity justice fairness and competence. Unless the 1999 constitution is revisited to Restructure Nigeria.Then no one will bother who is president insofar as system works

This is very sad. Rotational presidency among the six geopolitical zones will calm the agitation for succession and will give a sense of belonging to all Nigeria ethnic groups. It is a way to start an inclusive and sustainable democracy in Nigeria.

Some Senators and some governors they are bad eggs. What is wrong in zoning? Meaning some of them is enjoying what Nigeria and Nigerians are going through

it's already late

Personally, I don't believe in anything called one Nigeria. Even the system of government practised in Nigeria now is pseudo democracy because the government is not really accountable to the people.

The problem with this country is the self centered senate. Even if Obi wins , he might be impeached

Why?

U see the reason why thunder will strick all those old men that think Nigeria belong to their family. This just shows how wicked this ppl are

For admission into the university there is this thing called preference due to educational disadvantage, in Unity schools cut off marks differ from 139 in some states to as low as 40 in some, because 'all fingers ain't equal'. So why can't same equity be extended to all?

Public stealing is regarded as a crime against humanity in every serious nation but Nigerians have normalized it. Why is that Nigerians don't ask their public & civil servants living above their salaries & allowances the source of their lavish lifestyles & high spending? Irony.

Any Bill meant to favor the South must fail because the House of Assembly is skewed to favor a particular region.

One day this country will break by whatever means

They will reject bills like this and accept foolish bills. Smh

The bill is rejected because of born to rule mentality of the north. But there is a saying which said that those who made peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.

Imagine

No need for that again because we Yoruba are out of the so called contraption already..if you like siddon their day collect money, lie to yourself, kidnap and kill your selves...ko kan 'wa

A house of no equity and justice.

What sort of country is this ?

NGRPresident DrAhmadLawan femigbaja SenatorAbaribe OvieOmoAgege Is rotational presidency the prob of the country or overcentralization, unlimited govt powers & influences, corruption, lack of individual liberty, property rights & free enterprise, all of which flow from...1/

Whether they reject or accept they should stop presenting never lead well candidates for elections

The worst assembly ever.....

Omo you all that posting Tinubu sef get problems for reas*oning I swear

it should be between north and South

With this outcome, there is no ONE Nigeria. It is a sham.

You can never see arewa terrorists youth comment here because they are good things

It would also affect them that’s why they rejected it.. All offices will be rotated and these men don’t want to leave office anytime soon.

Oh that means this senators are the main problem to nigeria 🇳🇬. The only bill that can make nigeria a better place as now be rejected. If there is a rotation of Presidential position in nigeria 🇳🇬 there we be alot of improvement in every area in the country.

Bunch of selfish representatives, who have no good intention for those they claim to represent.

Grasshopper got killed by Hornbill bird is certainly deaf,The wing beat of the Great Hornbill Can be heard from more than half a mile away. So When a mosquito land on your testicles,you'll realize that there is always a way to solve problems without violence. Vote for Peter Obi

Referendum the only solution and that we will get

Bunch of criminals

Not surprised....

Oloribuku pot bellys, sleepy heads with no value to add to NIGERIA and Nigerians.

Useless clowns. Walahi I don't see reason why we should have National Assembly in the first place if na to dey pass bills wey no dey useful they are are very good at that but to come out and proffer everlasting solutions to crisis in the land they will be undermining us.

And the plot to politically marginalize some geo-political area in Nigeria is complete. 2023 will shock some people

What do u expect? nothing less from bunch of failures

They are rejecting it because there's one or two geopolitical zones that are born to rule, those thinking about that ideal must die soon.

Rather than zoning presidency why is nobody talking about bringing the party system to just two. Where every aspirant will have enough scrutiny from party primaries before coming to the masses. In the this sense the amalgamtion will be welcoming instead of zoning

If they like let them vote yes, Biafra has left Nigeria fulani federal government

THIEVES WILL NEVER ACCEPT POSITIVE CHANGE.. A CONFEDERATION STATE IS THE ANSWER/SOLUTION TO NIGERIAN.

See them bunch of stuff Them just carry seat they chop money nutin them Sabi their last break we dey hear impeachment now all of them enter stage of I forget Kolos

If is bill to shear money among them, they will pass it. Nonsense

Okoroaforkalato EmekaIhedioha IAOkowa I hope you can see this. Keep deceiving yourself that our turn will come. Na for hell our turn go come

Single tenure of 5yrs and zoning among 6 Zone..✔

They will never pass a good bill. But eyes will clear all of them soon.

The only possible solution to so called one Nigeria

Nothing good can proceed from a bad source. The 9th NASS is worse than 'bad' 👎

because nigeria is not a country or a state but sectarian cult

Lol 😄 ikegwuru

Selfish senators

south east region will be more happier and will be welcoming this more than any region, because they are the most selfish people with a minority of population

Why are they rejecting this you don’t want referendum you don’t rotational you want only one region fulanies ruling us steady

Fulani senators will refuse because they fill that it's their rights to rule

We must change that whole constitution

AChijioke Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Emilokun

Would have been the best bill to pass . It will bring fairness and probably peace

They wont allow anything good for this nation.

The reason we need to kill and bury the two associations of thieves that call themselves political parties; PDP and APC

Tinubu is the next president of Nigeria in 2023 and the presidency will shift back to northern part of Nigeria.

Fulani feels they are born to rule others ... Oil and water can't form homogeneous solution no matter how much hear you apply . The only solution is separation technologies
