BILL TO CREATE 74 SEATS FOR WOMEN IN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY PASSES SECOND READING
Ahmad Satomi from Borno countered Kalu, insisting that he should put the bill to a voice vote.
“It does not matter if you are presiding,” Satomi said.
Subsequently, Kalu put the bill to a voice vote. The “ayes” were louder than the “nays,” but he ruled in favour of the “ayes”.
A similar bill was considered in the 9th assembly during the constitution amendment process. The senate and house of representatives voted against it.
