Lawmakers from Zamfara State, who were recently suspended, have filed a petition with the National Assembly, requesting that their suspension be reviewed. They argue that the suspension was politically motivated and violated their rights as elected representatives.
The petition claims that due process was not followed in the suspension process and that it undermines the principles of democracy. The suspended lawmakers are asking the National Assembly to intervene and ensure their rights are restored so they can resume their duties.
The dispute has caused tensions between the state government and the lawmakers. The National Assembly’s response to the petition will be closely watched, as it could set a precedent for similar cases in other states. The lawmakers hope that the National Assembly will uphold democratic values and ensure fair treatment in this case.
