The conference of Speakers is seeking the reintroduction of devolution of powers in the next round of constitution amendment.

The Senate and the House of Representatives rejected a proposal for devolution of power in 2017.

Kamba appealed to the federal lawmakers to reconsider their decision on the devolution of power.

“The procedure of amending the constitution has more to do with the legislative than the executive,” Kamba, who is speaker of the Kebbi state house of assembly said.
