Soludo backs single term for politicians, rejects council autonomy

Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, yesterday, threw his weight behind the growing calls for a single term for elected officeholders, arguing that any form of autonomy for local councils in the country is against the tenets of true federalism.

The former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) proposed a single-parliament National Assembly because of the country’s dwindling revenue.  Soludo, spoke at The Platform Nigeria, a programme by Lagos-based Church, Covenant Nation, to mark the 2024 Democracy Day.
