The House of Representatives has passed for second reading a bill seeking to stop anyone above 60 years from vying for election to the Offices of the President and Governor in Nigeria.
The bill, introduced by Rep. Ikeagwuonu Ugochinyere, seeks to amend the 1999 Constitution by imposing a restriction on individuals over 60 years of age from contesting for the offices of President or Governor.
The proposed amendments outline that presidential and gubernatorial candidates must be no older than 60 at the time of running.
