Until Nigeria implement single term of five years, they are not ready for development.

Five years is enough. Anyone that is not capable of solving some of Nigeria problem in five years should get out.

Why can't rotation of power be part of the Constitution?
Inclusion of all geopolitical zones in power will further strengthen the unity of the country.
Enough of Fulani dynasty and emilokan principle.
Single term of five years on a rotational basis would have been fair enough.

Power is never given... it is always taken...

Oga it is not as you think o. We have 36 states and every state is expecting something. The money Nigeria is making in a year cannot afford us to get a tangible project within 5 years for all the 36 states.

Are you now saying, no region have abundant competent individuals. Mr. Man, there is no region you get to that you will not see in abundant competent and cerebral people that can manage this country, just because they've not given them space, that is why you think power rotation will not promote leadership competence. Even I can say, this system that skewed minority is even brewing incompetence because the minority doesn't have a say when it comes to voting, while the majority always have their way.

This is utter nonsense!!
Nigeria is not the Avatar universe where the Avatar cycle rotates among the 4 nations.

Why just the geopolitical zones? Why not rotation among the over 250 tribes in Nigeria? Since we're talking about unity and equity.
Let Hausa rule 8 years, Bini rule 8 years, Yoruba rule 8 years, Idoma rule 8 years, Tivs 8 years, Igbo 8 years... till all the 250+ tribes have ruled then the Hausa begins the cycle again.

So you mean an Igbo man should shelf his Presidential ambition because it's not the turn of the SE?
So if an Igbo man contest with his fellow Igbo when it's the SE turn and he lose, he'll have to put his ambition on hold for 48 years before he can try again? That's rubbish na.
Presidential election should be free for all. Let anyone who feels he can win, let him/her contest.

Do you know why 2023 election will be awesome? It will be the first election in the history of Nigeria where 4 contestants will get over a million votes. Ever since it's only two parties that gets over a million votes. This time APC, PDP, Labour and NNPP will get over a million votes. That's how an election should be.

Power should not be given on a platter of gold. Power should be wrestled for.

The problem of some of you is that you always think about politics and not the wider aspect scope.
If Chapter 2 Section 14 sub-section 3 of the constitution of Nigeria can specifically talk of composition of Federal government or its agencies should be administer through federal character principle which in turn will promote National Unity and Command National Loyalty. Why do such federal character practice at MDAs levels of appointments but jettisoned when it comes to elective positions.
Even in public and civil service there is a level you get to that your region is considered for you to move to that level. For example, a quota that has been allocated to a region like north west, no matter your performance in the exam and interview, if your quota has been filled up, you won't be promoted. Why are we running away from the reality that can unite us and chasing shadows.

This your submission above is mischievous because in appointive positions such is not considered but only region wise. Appointment is never on ethnic basis but on regional basis. Please what stops such to be practice on elective posts, if not the evil intention of exerting majority factors on the minority.

Do the masses continuously provide (dis)incentives for the few from among them who are allowed to be in power temporarily?

Even if it's in the constitution the politicians will not obey it and nothing will happen. Federal character that is in the constitution is not even obeyed and nothing has happened so far. Even the Federal Character Commission itself, the employment there does not follow the rules of federal character and nothing has happened. We are acting as if everything is OK. It was in Buhari's administration that the DSS employed and the list of employment was skewed to favour an ethnic group, yet no one spoke. Please let's rest abeg. The failure to put this zoning in the constitution will soon trigger a bigger problem for Nigeria.

Clearly you're the one that's myopic and not looking at the wider scope.

Like I said before.. If I, an Edo guy, contest for presidency when it's the turn of the SS and I lose, you'd expect me to wait for a whooping 48 years before I can try my luck again? I should shelf my ambition for half a century because it's not yet the turn of SS?

Giving someone a one time shot in his life to be president doesn't look like fairness and equity to me.

I'm a fair believer of survival of the fittest. Power should be fought for not given.

Modified: As for federal character in appointments, that's a total different ball game. Positions by appointment are numerous and can accommodate lots of persons. But federal character on the Presidency can accommodate only one person. And if we go by region, that's one person per region in 48 years. That's rubbish to me.

They have never been friend to the masses, at best they see the common man on the street as pawns that could be moved at ease.

It's sad, we haven't learnt anything from the foolish cycle.

In a multi ethnic, multi religious and non united country like Nigeria, rotational presidency will bring the much needed cohesion.
Presently, Nigeria is country like a body fighting against itself, especially the majority ethnic tribe always wanting to have everything ,all the time.
Any person against rotational presidency does not love the country. It will ensure that the fight for the presidency, does not tear the foundation apart.
A small country like Switzerland,the size of like Kwara state, practices rotational presidency.
Without rotational presidency, I can see Nigeria disintegrated in 50 years from now. It does not cost any tribe anything
Let us practice it.

I expect the igbos to be in the forefront of this bill, but NO they won't. Until the soup is done, then they will want to be the one to first benefit.
I could remember when the late Yaradua VP Jonathan was caged by the cabal and the north didn't want to relinquish power to him as acting President. It was the SW that fought PDP to standstill using this same Lagos to force the north to relinquish power to Jonathan. The Igbos stood aloof and when Jonathan got power, the igbos claimed him as theirs and even rename him Azikiwe. Jonathan's government completely relegated SW. History is your friend.

Power rotation would just spoil the little nationalism left in us. Every president elected will only appoint and work with his people. The next will do same and the next. There won't be even development and sharing of resources. It is better for us to strengthen our electoral processes and for regions to form alliances where possible. Power rotation will only see politicians who are looking for power.

Very correct. Cause from the look at things anyone who wins goes in for 8 years. I dont know how they do it but no matter how bad the GOVERNANCE is they still win another 4 years. Maybe its rigging or hoeing or cutlassing. I no no o.
