Just 24 hours after advancing two key bills—one seeking to review the death penalty law and another proposing the removal of immunity for the Vice President, governors, and deputy governors—the House of Representatives has reversed its decision on the proposed legislation.
The resolution was announced during Thursday’s plenary session by House Leader, Prof. Julius Ihonvbere.
Both bills had passed the second reading stage on Wednesday as part of a broader review of 42 proposed legislations.
However, during Thursday’s session, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, who presided in the absence of Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, explained that the decision was made to allow for a more in-depth debate among lawmakers.
“We want to apologise to the sponsors of the bills, but this action is to enable the House to have a further debate considering the importance of the subject matters,” Kalu stated.
Further details on the development are expected to emerge as deliberations continue.
