The Deputy Speaker, House of Reps and Chairman of the ad-hoc committee on Constitution review, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, in an interview with Vanguard, explained that 71 Sections of the Constitution have been amended by the house.

Speaking on one of the several amendments, he noted: “Perhaps one of the most courageous decisions of the House in this exercise is the removal of criminal immunity from the President, Vice President, Governors and Deputy Governors, leaving only immunity against civil proceedings. This was effected by a vote on Section 308. Members simply opted to keep faith with the decisions of their constituents at the peoples public sessions.”
