Constitution Review Committee Won’t Kill Any Bill -Omo-Agege

The Deputy President of the Senate and Chairman, Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Review of the 1999 Constitution, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has assured that the panel would not kill any of the constitution alteration bills before it.
He promised that the Senate would recommend all the bills before it for consideration and that the Senate in plenary would determine whether or not such proposals should be transmitted to state assemblies.
Omo-Agege, in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Yomi Odunuga, clarified that members of the committee were not under pressure from external forces to do their biddings.
He stressed the need for Nigerians to take advantage of the window given by the committee for call for Memoranda to submit their proposals on any of the 13 thematic areas to the panel.
Recall that the committee had shifted the deadline for submission of memoranda from September 11 to September 25, 2020.
Omo-Agege disclosed that besides the Constitution alterations bills already referred to the panel, more proposals could surface on the floor, arising from memoranda submitted to the committee.
His words: “Any Nigerian who feels strongly about any issue that ought to be addressed in this exercise, has a right within the time stipulated to put their thoughts in writing by way of a memo and submit same to us.”
