Suspended lawmakers in Zamfara has write a petition to the national assembly for intervention calling for the national assembly to investigate the legality of their suspension and the potential implications for the state’s governance. The lawmakers’ accusations point to a lack of transparency and a perception of undue influence from the state executive, especially Governor Dauda Lawal.
The claim that the House leadership is acting in a manner that disregards the rules and due process could set a worrying precedent for democratic governance in the state.
It seems like the suspended lawmakers believe that the actions of the House are not reflective of the will of the people, especially given the absence of a two-thirds majority vote in key decisions. Their appeal to the National Assembly, security agencies, and civil society organizations to intervene speaks to their desire for an impartial review of the situation.
This situation also raises important questions about the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches at the state level. What do you think the National Assembly’s role should be in resolving such disputes?
