The Presidency is planning the inclusion of six-month residency clause in the proposed constitution amendment, investigations have shown.
Our correspondents learnt on Sunday that the clause was one of the amendments President Goodluck Jonathan would submit to the National Assembly on its resumption on September 13.
It was also learnt that the Presidency was also planning an amendment, which would make local governments to be more independent of states.
Investigations revealed the six –month residency clause was conceived to neutralise the issue of state of origin in appointments.
