Checks disclosed Buhari had last week signed into law 16 constitution amendment bills out of the 35 bills transmitted to him by the ninth National Assembly.

Lawan commended President Buhari for assenting to 16 constitution amendment bills, particularly the bills to guarantee the independence of state legislatures and the judiciary.

Notwithstanding, he affirmed that the Upper chamber would figure out why the remaining 19 bills were not assented to as well.
