Nigerian House orders governors to justify suspensions of state lawmakers or face federal takeover.
The Nigerian House of Representatives has issued an ultimatum to the governors of Benue and Zamfara states, Hyacinth Alia and Dauda Lawal, respectively, to appear before a panel by May 14, 2025.
The panel is investigating the suspension of lawmakers in both states, which began in February 2024, and has been criticized by a group of lawyers as unconstitutional.
The governors previously refused to attend the hearings, citing a lack of jurisdiction by the federal parliament.
The House is considering taking over legislative duties if the suspensions are deemed illegal.
