Most state laws written in living rooms of governors – Dogara

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has accused some state governors of writing laws from their living rooms.

Dogara spoke during Channels TV’s Town Hall meeting on President Bola Tinubu’s tax reform bills on Monday.

He noted that most state governors don’t consult before making laws within their domains.

According to Dogara: “At the state level, how many governors consult when they are making laws? I’m not challenging them; as a matter of fact, in some cases, state laws are written from the living rooms of governors.

“Should we now stop because governors have not been brought on board even though it’s the right thing to do? Should that be an excuse? The answer is no.
