Nigeria’s House of Representatives Rescinds Bill on Vice-Presidential and Gubernatorial Immunity The House of Representatives has reversed its earlier stance on a proposed bill aimed at stripping the Vice President, state governors, and their deputies of immunity from prosecution. This decision came after the Majority Leader of the House, Julius Ihonvbere, moved a motion urging lawmakers to reconsider their position.
