@atiku: If elected, I’ll make rotational presidency a constitutional provision

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar says he will pursue a constitutional amendment to establish rotational presidency if elected president in 2027.

Speaking on Wednesday during an appearance on Prime Time, a programme on Arise Television, Abubakar said he supports the principle of zoning, noting that a constitutional arrangement would provide a more equitable and stable framework for power rotation.

“If I am president, even if it is the only amendment I can make, I would move towards that,” he said.

The former vice-president said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) remains the only political party with zoning arrangement embedded in its constitution.
