The Senate of the National Assembly has initiated moves to probe the rationale behind President Muhammadu Buhari’s rejection of 19 thought-provoking constitutional amendment bills currently with him from the parliament.
To this end, the Senate, on Tuesday, said it has constituted a committee to critically look into it, with a view to finding far-reaching solutions.
The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, disclosed this in his remarks during resumption of plenary after the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections.
President Buhari had last week signed into law 16 constitution amendment bills out of the 35 bills transmitted to him by the ninth National Assembly.
Though Lawan commended President Buhari for assenting to the 16 constitution amendment bills, particularly the bills to guarantee the independence of state legislatures and the judiciary, he, however, expressed concerns as to the selective approach, vowing to engage with the Presidency to understand why the remaining 19 bills were not assented to./SHARE THIS
