Reps Move To Include Referendum In Constitution by atlwireles: 9:51pm On Sep 17, 2014
By Emman Ovuakporie
ABUJA — THE House of Representatives yesterday started moves to amend Section 9 of the 1999 constitution to provide for referendum in the enactment or alteration of a new constitution for Nigeria.
This move may be connected with the controversy surrounding what to do with the report of the recently concluded national conference convoked by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The bill has already been listed to be debated and may be given accelerated consideration by lawmakers.
Entitled “a bill for an act to amend section 9 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 to make provision for referendum in the alteration or enactment of a new constitution,” the bill is sponsored by Raphael Nnanna Igbokwe, PDP, Imo.

Lawmakers should be doing more of this...they shouldn't believe they are there just to appropriate state funds
