Nigeria’s House of Representatives on Tuesday dispelled news of alleged forgery of the Electoral Act amendment bill making the rounds.
Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila while reacting to an order of privilege raised on the floor by a member, Ugonna Ozurigbo denied any knowledge of such forgery.
The Speaker noted that the House is yet to receive the report of the committee while insisting that nothing of such was altered as he has also confirmed from the Chairman of the Committee, Aisha Dukku.
He said the House will ensure thorough scrutiny of the clause by clause amendment before they proceed for their annual break next week.
A coalition of civil society organizations is presently protesting against the National assembly on the claimed forgery of the Electoral Act (amendment) bill 2020.
