The stage is now set for a titanic clash between the Senate and National Assembly ahead of the debate on the Constitutional Amendment Bill, 2025, which has already been passed by members of the National Assembly. The Bill is now headed to the Senate, whose members have raised concerns over their exclusion in the formulation of the amendments.

Criticism from experts is also mounting over the members of the National Assembly’s second bid to alter the Constitution, with pundits now arguing that the move constitutes a mutilation of the supreme law of the land.
