Reps Debunk Removal of Not-Too-Young-To-Run bill
The Speaker of House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara, has debunked the claim that the law makers kicked against the Not-Too-Young-To-Run bill, saying it has not been removed from the constitution amendment report.
The speaker explains that though the bill was retained, the title was changed, while reaffirming his support for youth inclusion in politics.
He made the clarification at the backdrop of outcry that the Bill had been removed from the constitution amendment report, which was laid at plenary on Thursday, July 20, The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
Deputy speaker, Mr Yussuff Lasun, who is chairman of the House of Representatives ad hoc committee on Review of the Constitution, had said that there was a rumour that the bill had been removed from the report.
He said that it was being alleged that the bill was expunged at the retreat of the National Assembly joint committee on review of the constitution, held in Lagos, but described it as false.
Dogara also reaffirmed his support for youth inclusion in politics, saying that the house would live up to its promise to do all within its powers to pass the bill.
