The Senate has started debating a bill for an act that would establish a system for the transfer of power among the nation's six geopolitical zones.
Senator Abba Moro from Benue South is the author of the legislation, which was sponsored and passed its first reading earlier this year.
The bill is stirring up debate because some Senators claim it will strengthen ethnic minorities' sense of unity and belonging, while others claim it will violate Nigeria's Constitution.
