Constitution Alteration Bill: 35 Items To Be Transmitted To Buhari For Assent by fergie001: 5:13pm On Jan 25, 2023
The Nigerian Senate and the Federal House of Representatives have adopted the resolution for the passage and transmittal of 35 items on the Constitution Alteration Bill to President Muhammadu Buhari for assent.

On 1st March 2022, the green and red chambers voted independently for 44 items in the bill on March 01, 2022.
(See links: https://www.nairaland.com/7009782/constitutional-amendment-senate-begins-voting#110660783

https://www.nairaland.com/7009655/constitutional-amendment-house-representatives-begins#110658367)

Two-thirds State Houses of Assembly is expected to harmonise and vote on the proposed Bill. 27 Houses of Assembly entered representation while nine (9) States: Gombe, Jigawa, Kebbi, Kwara, Oyo, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba & Zamfara Assemblies, are yet to do so.

Every item must meet a YES threshold from at least 24 Houses of Assembly.

1. Afikpo North and Afikpo South LGAs to be known as Afikpo LGA and Edda LGA respectively. (Ebonyi State)

The LG Autonomy failed:
Only 16 states passed it: Abia, Kogi, Edo, Ogun, Katsina, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Nasarawa, Niger, Kaduna, Cross River, Osun, Enugu, Kano and Bauchi.

*Some of the items involve:*

- The powers of the National Assembly or State House of Assembly to summon the President or Governor.

- The correctional facility, railway and the generation, transmission & distribution of electricity to be moved from the Exclusive to the concurrent Legislative List.

- The establishment of the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation or State separate from the Minister or Commissioner for Justice, amongst others.

The good for nothing thieves representing their selfish interest have thrown another jargons for their puppet to assent. I never see this type of unfortunate set of reps in my life, rubber stamp Urchins claiming to represent the people, but we know who exactly this uninspiring fcks are. Smh

Every Nigerian should endeavour to read and study the constitution

Nigerians would rather read bible and Koran than study the simple guiding principles of their country's constitution. Some would rather watch bbtitans

Same States Houses of Assembly that threw out the bill seeking to give financial autonomy to Local governments, quickly accented to the bill that gives financial autonomy to them and the judiciary.

LMAO!

If we don't use this year's elections to make a firm statement to our politicians, Nigeria will fall beyond recovery.

Fifty percent of the items on this constitution amendment are just for name changes of certain local government areas and geopolitical locations. These politicians dey use us catch cruise. E be them like say we be puppets and na them hold the strings.

For those states that did not pass the LG autonomy, you guys should please occupy your state assemblies.

LG autonomy that was killed should be redrafted into the NASS immediately a new legislative era begins.

So only one state in southwest voted for LG autonomy while the rest voted against it.. And in Southeast only ebony and imo state(apc states) voted against LG autonomy while the rest anambra, Enugu, abia voted in support of LG autonomy.. We can all see the enemy of the people in the open.. Oyo, Lagos, osun, ondo, and ekiti voted against LG autonomy

Ammendments according to President Buhari-Fulani taste - a journey to nowhere. What happened to the recommendations of the 2014 CONFAB?
Nobody amends a house with foundation on quick sand. Nigerians did not validate the 1999 Constitution under ammendment.

So all the talks on the constitution amendment is about change of name of local government and empowering lawmakers.

They never asked President Buhari to accept and sign the recommendations of the 2014 National CONFAB where all Nigeria's groups cut accross political parties
sat and recommended the type of Nigeria and Constitution they want.

Now, a few persons representing the interest of Buhari's Fulani sat and scripted these ammendments to be imposed upon Nigeria. Bunkum.
