Constitution Review: State Houses Of Assembly Mobilise For Autonomy

[Shola Sholaz]

As the National Assembly fine tunes its review of the Constitution, Speakers of the 36 states' Houses of Assembly have begun serious mobilisation towards getting independence from their respective governors.
.
However, the state governors, it was also gathered, were not comfortable with granting autonomy to their Houses of Assembly.
.
A governor told one of our correspondents that they were not in support of autonomy for the respective Houses, just as they did not support the removal of immunity from the President and governors.
.
Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Mr. Eugene Odo, in an interview with our correspondent in Abuja, said they were ready to back independence for the assemblies.
