You know it has been passed by the National Assembly and was assented to by the immediate past president Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll we need is for the government to start implementation. But as we speak today, nothing has been done. The 36 states of Houses of Assembly, you can call them rubber stamps. They can\u2019t stand on their feet simply because they are not autonomous. We are not just fighting for the staff, we are fighting to deepen the dividends of democracy for Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe essence of separation of power is when autonomy is in operation, but as we speak today, the governors are doing whatever they like and nobody is asking them questions. The Houses of Assembly dare not speak because they are not autonomous bodies. This is the struggle we are in,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Says issue of autonomy is a constitutional matter Members of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria in Edo State, on Monday, shut the gates to the Edo State House of Assembly, following the expiration of the ultimatum for the implementation of financial autonomy in legislative houses in the country.
