The Senate on Tuesday lamented President Muhammadu Buhari has rejected a Bill seeking to amend the nation’s constitution and empower lawmakers to summon the president and governors.

The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, who made this known on Tuesday during plenary, noted that the rejected legislation was one of the 18 constitution alteration bill forwarded to Buhari by the National Assembly for assent.

Buhari had last Friday assented to 16 out of 35 constitution alterations bills transmitted to him for assent by the National Assembly.
