African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the House of Representatives of undermining the country’s constitution in its handling of the State Police Constitution Alteration Bill, calling for the legislation to be recommitted to a fresh and transparent legislative process.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, ADC questioned reports that the constitutional threshold for passage was only met through votes transmitted via WhatsApp and by counting members, who were not present in the chamber.
