The face of the new constitution being awaited by Nigerians finally
unfolded Friday with the submission of the output of the state houses of
assembly votes on amendments to the 1999 Constitution transmitted to
them by the National Assembly on October 28.
Although
details of the votes are still sketchy, Chairman, Conference of Speakers
of State Houses of Assembly, Samuel Ikon, said they secured the
required two-thirds majority of the 36 state legislatures for the
provision of financial autonomy for the houses of assembly.
He also disclosed, while submitting the report, that state legislatures
succeeded in securing more than the required two-thirds to seal the
amendment for the separation of the Office of the Minister of Justice
from that of the Attorney General of the Federation.
