To solve some of the leadership challenges facing the country, the deputy Senate President has proposed single term of five or six years for Presidents.
Dr Ike Ekweremadu advocated a single-term presidency for Nigeria and other African countries as a way of deepening democracy and good governance.
He spoke while delivering a lecture - ‘Constitutionalism and the Challenges of Leadership in Africa: an Evaluation of Tested Models’ on Tuesday.
According to NAN, the event was organised by the Centre for Media and Peace Initiatives, a New York-based international NGO to mark its 10th anniversary.
He said, “A more modest proposal seeks not the abandonment of the presidential system per se but the re-designing of term limits for political chief executives.
