The House of representatives has voted in favour of local government autonomy. The lawmakers also voted overwhelmingly for the simplification of the process of state creation. The result of the voting was announced by the clerk of the House as directed by the speaker, Aminu Tambuwal. As a result of the murmurs that accompanied the first result from some parts of the floor, the Speaker intervened by informing the lawmakers that the Clerk was not having the titles of the clauses in the result he was reading out. The Speaker took it upon himself to read out the titles of the clauses before the Clerk announced the result. Out of the 399 lawmakers that voted for the council's autonomy, 293 voted yes, 39 voted no and seven abstained.
