AFNews Understands that the House of Representatives faulted the NGF for asking the federal parliament to step down the bill, saying "federal parliament does not legislate for states".

this online media understands that the house of representatives had asked the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF) not to be misled by the "biased position" of Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto, over the bill to control infectious diseases. The green chamber said the governors' demand that the bill should be suspended was informed by Tambuwal's "personal and partisan opposition" to the emergence of the current house leadership under Femi Gbajabiamila.
