The Senate has directed the Clerk of the National Assembly to transmit the 35 constitution amendment bills that have so far met the requirement of the provision of section 9(2) of the constitution to President Muhammadu Buhari for assent.
The 35 constitution amendment bills being sent to Buhari are the ones debated and approved by 27 out of 36 state house of assemblies in the country.
“Twenty-seven State Houses of Assembly have forwarded their resolutions on 35 constitution amendment bills to the National Assembly,” the Senate said.
The upper chamber also asked the remaining nine state Houses of Assembly that are yet to forward their resolutions on the constitution amendment bills to do so to fulfil their constitutionally imposed legislative obligation.
The seven state house of assemblies that are to forward their resolutions are Oyo, Gombe, Jigawa, Kebbi, Kwara, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba and Zamfara States.
