There is a battle line drawn between members of the National Assembly and Governors as the latter have maintained that the States Houses of Assembly will not consider the ongoing constitution amendment until the National Assembly reintroduces the State police bill.
In line with the 1999 constitution, constitutional amendment bills passed by both chambers of the National Assembly must also be backed by 24 state Houses of Assembly.
As always, both sides are recruiting allies to fight the battle. The lawmakers, led by Deputy Senate President Ovie Omoagege, have recruited the Nigerian Labour Congress and National Union of Local Government Employees.
The governors so far have the Speakers of the States Houses of Assembly on their side
