President Muhammadu Buhari has failed to sign into law, Constitution amendment bills on power to summon President and Governors.

Speaking on Tuesday in Abuja, the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan stated that the Senate will investigate the 19 Constitution Alteration Bills rejected by the President Muhammadu Buhari.

He noted that out of the 35 constitution alteration bill forwarded to the President in January for assent, only 16 were assented to by the President.

Lawan further said that the most striking of the 16 bills that Buhari assented to was the Fifth Alteration Bill No 6, which makes provisions for financial independence of State Houses of Assembly and the Judiciary.

The first of the 19 bills rejected by Buhari was the Fifth Alteration Bill No 24, which sought an Act to alter the Second Schedule to the 1999 Constitution to empower the National Assembly and state Houses of Assembly to summon the President and governors to answer questions on issues on which the National and state Houses of Assembly have the Powers to make.

Others rejected are Alteration Bill No. 7 which sought an Act to alter the provisions of the 1999 Constitution to compel obedience or compliance with legislative summons.

Fifth Alteration Bill No 29 which sought for an Act to alter the provisions of the 1999 Constitution “to provide for a state of the nation and state-of-the-state address by the President and Governor.”

Fifth Alteration Bill No 22, which sought an Act to alter the provisions of the 1999 Constitution “to Specify the period within which the President or the governor of state shall present the Appropriation Bill before the National Assembly or House of Assembly.”

Also rejected was bill No. 30, which sought an Act to alter the provisions of the 1999 Constitution to Include former heads of the National Assembly in the Council of State and Bill No. 14, which sought an Act to alter the 1999 Constitution to move Fingerprints, Identification and Criminal Records from the Exclusive Legislative List to the Concurrent Legislative List.

Lawan said,

“We sent 35 Constitution Amendment bills. Sixteeen of them were approved while 19 of them were rejected. We will find out why those bills were rejected because we put a lot of resources into the process.

“We will continue to engage the executive and go through the bills and see if there are issues that we can deal with within the short period, we will continue to pursue them.

“But if the issues are cumbersome, we can leave it for the 10th Assembly.”
