SOME Federal legislators desperate to return to the National Assembly are pushing for a new clause in the Electoral Act 2010.
The "Right of First Refusal" is to guarantee Senators and Representatives automatic return tickets to the National Assembly.
It is all part of "a grand trade-off" planned by the lawmakers who are considering the Executive’s proposals on the Electoral Act’s amendments.
The Presidency is proposing the use of party caucus to choose candidates for the 2011 elections – a plan many have described as "evil" and "undemocratic".
The House may hold an executive session today to develop a template for the amendments to the Electoral Act.
Some Senators and Reps met yesterday in Abuja ahead of the consideration of the proposed amendments by the two chambers.
