Chukwuma Soludo, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has proposed a single tenure of six years for presidents in the country.<\/p>\n

He also suggested five vice-presidents serving at a time \u2014 one from each geo-political zone.<\/p>\n

Soludo made the proposal at the south-east summit on restructuring Nigeria ongoing in Awka, Anambra state capital.<\/p>\n

He said having a vice-president from all geo-political zones will ensure the representation of all Nigerians in government.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe tenure of office of the president shall be a single term of six years. There shall be five vice presidents. One from each of the six geopolitical zones.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former CBN governor aligned his voice with that of various stakeholders across the country who have repeatedly argued that restructuring\u00a0will help address some of Nigeria\u2019s problems<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>

Proponents of restructuring have said it would help lay to rest the agitations coming from the various ethnic groups.<\/p>\n

Soludo said to solve the agitations coming from the Igbo, there should a nation \u201cthat works\u201d and that gives everyone a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n

He said the Igbo demand a new constitution and a constitutional conference \u2014 backed by law \u2014 \u201cwhere the people of Nigeria will agree on a new, truly, federal constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA constituent assembly should be constituted to agree on a new constitution for a new Nigeria,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch a constitution, the People\u2019s constitution should be approved by the people of Nigeria through a referendum to give it legitimacy and validity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
