The Alliance For The Defence of the Niger Delta (ADND) has called on the National Assembly to revoke the immunity status given to the president, vice president, governors, and deputy governors, shielding them from legal consequences for their actions.
The statement, released by ADND’s leaders Johnson Mba-Ngei and Sobomabo Ikriko, was made in Abuja on Friday.
The NGO pointed out that the immunity clause serves as an obstacle to ensuring state governors are held accountable for misconduct and mismanagement of public resources.
The NGO said, “By eliminating this clause, governors will be subject to scrutiny and legal action, thereby promoting transparency, accountability, and good governance at the state level
