The decision of the Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution to alter sections 68 and 109 in the proposed amendments is currently generating ripples in the upper chamber.
The committee, led by the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, last week submitted additional provisions which sought to alter certain sections of the document.
Specifically, it sought to alter sections 68 and 109 to empower the Clerk of the National Assembly and those of the states Houses of Assembly to notify the Independent National Electoral Commission in writing within seven days of a vacancy in any of the chambers arising from resignation, death or defection.
