Focus on electoral reforms not rotational presidency, Obi’s spokesman, Tanko urges NASS

The spokesperson of the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council in the 2023 election, Yunusa Tanko, says reforming Nigeria’s electoral process is more important now than the proposed single-tenure rotational  presidency.

Speaking in an interview with NAN, Tanko said the pursuit of rotational presidency can come after electoral reform is achieved.

He added that reforming the electoral process would guarantee the emergence of credible leaders across all levels of government and help deepen democracy.
