Femi Gbajabiamila, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Emomotimi Guwor, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, expressed their support for constitutional reforms aimed at establishing state police and devolving powers. They spoke during the National Assembly's open week in Abuja, highlighting the necessity for greater transparency, accountability, and collaboration among the executive, legislature, and citizens to advance democratic governance.

Gbajabiamila emphasized the importance of public scrutiny of legislative activities and the need for broader citizen participation, particularly from youth, women, and persons with disabilities. He reaffirmed the commitment of President Bola Tinubu's administration to maintain a productive relationship with the National Assembly in pursuit of security, economic renewal, and social justice.
