WHY NO NEW HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY IN NIGERIA CAN START NEW
SESSION/SITTING WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE STATE
GOVERNOR.

A new House of Assembly in any part of Nigeria cannot sit, meet
or carry out its official duties or commence its session/sitting
until the Governor of the state issues a proclamation (a public or
official announcement) allowing the holding and commencement of the
first session of the new House of Assembly of the state. A Governor
must issue such proclamation immediately after being sworn in and
has no powers to refuse to make such proclamation. It is a
statutory provision and cannot be alerted by any state law,
executive orders, security/party report, clerk of the house or
members of the house.

My authorities are sections 105(3), 318 and 319 of the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.
