The Afenifere Renewal Group (ARG) has described Gov Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso’s comment endorsing the immutability of the 1999 Constitution and called on all Nigerians to condemn it as “selfish and unpatriotic”.

In a media interview recently, the Kano State Governor was quoted as saying that “any Constitution other than the 1999 Constitution should be rejected because anything less than that is an instrument by those who think it will help them.”

ARG, in a statement signed by its publicity secretary, Kunle Famoriyo, blamed Kwankwaso, and other self-seeking Nigerian politicians, for endorsing 1999 Constitution when it suits him and calling for its amendment when it does not.

“Kwankwanso, one of those who believe the 1999 Constitution is perfect for Nigeria, has had two reasons to call for its amendment recently. He changed his stance on the agitation for state police when his security aides were withdrawn by ‘order from above’ during the Kano Emirship commotion. He also called for amendment of the impeachment laws when a raft of impeachment wave threatened governors of his party, All Progressives Congress, claiming Nyako governorship in the process,” the statement said.
