Bill To Limit Age Of Presidential And Governorship Candidates In Nigeria Passes 2nd Reading

-



Nigeria's House of Representatives has passed a bill for its second reading that proposes a maximum age limit of 60 years for individuals contesting for the offices of President and Governor. 
This bill, sponsored by Rep. Ikeagwuonu Ugochinyere, seeks to amend the 1999 Constitution, specifically Sections 131 and 177, to include this age restriction. Additionally, it introduces a requirement for candidates to hold at least a Bachelor's degree.
What do you think about this? I think Its great, dem no take oldpresidents and governors swear for we country!"
