Governors, under the umbrella of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, have said they will not replace the Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, from the forum’s committee set up to discuss with the membe

rs of the House of Representatives on the contentious Infectious Diseases Bill.

Among other contentious provisions, the bill prescribes compulsory vaccination of every child in Nigeria against some infectious diseases. In a statement issued by the spokesman for the House, Benjamin Kalu, the lawmakers vowed not to have anything to do with Tambuwal. “Unlike in a constitution amendment matter, where state Houses of Assembly have a defined constitutional role to play in effecting any review to it, bills such as the Control of Infectious Diseases are not by our Constitution subject of concurrence of state Houses of Assembly or state governors.”
