Why should an old pot call a kettle black? who is Professor Ben Nwabueze to condemn the present administration? he should be ashamed for being a part of the team that drafted the 1979 constitution which metamorphosed into the 1999 constitution. The constitution which has been faulted by many law experts and which is being reviewed by a Joint Committee of the National Assembly was unfortunately branded as a legitimate document by Prof. Nwabueze in his bid to defending the immediate past president Olusegun Obasanjo's decision to head the Ministry of Petroleum during his tenure. In his (Nwabueze) words "Obasanjo did not violate any section of the constitution by appointing himself the substantive Minister of Petroleum during his tenure as the president" trying to force wrongdoing into the throat of sound minded Nigerians.

A man who was part of the drafting of a failed constitution does not have the temerity to correct a notion as a result of the interpretation given to the section of the constitution which the House of Representatives cited to buttress its argument.Though, Prof. Nwabueze is a constitutional lawyer and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), he is not in a position to tell Nigerians what the true constitutional position is in this matter owing to his (Nwabueze) involvement in the drafting of a constitution that suffered many problems in the Second Republic and which was adopted as the constitution of the current republic on May 29, 1999.

The constitution which is suppose to be the basic instrument of government has provided the basis for nothing but political instability, poor economic growth and social progress. It was neither simple nor flexible and hence, weak. Furthermore, the constitution does not serve the needs of over 140 million Nigerians. This shows that the 1999 constitution is illegitimate and its amendment by both the lower and the upper houses was long overdue.

A former education minister that did nothing to improve the standard of public schools in the country but rather empower private school at the detriment of the poor masses, what is more evil in nature than that? denying the poor liberty, cause education is liberty. the so-called prof should come and tell Nigerians what and what he did to better the lives of common Nigerians when he was a minister. prof should please learn to deal with his past evil deeds before condemning another administration.
