RETURN NIGERIA TO 1963 CONSTITUTION TO STOP DECEIVING NIGERIANS

The truth has now come out: the 1999 Constitution imposed on Nigerians is a forgery and a fraud. So it is null and void. This deceit is unacceptable and cannot continue to be enforced upon us. It is against our human rights. In 2016 the former Attorney General and commissioner for Justice in Akwa Ibom State, Mr Uwemedimo Nwoko counselled Nigeria to take up the 1963 Constitution. This is what he said:

“The greatest challenge of the Nigerian nation is re-inventing the concept of its nationhood”. Those are the words of Nwoko. He said Nigeria must re-invent the concept of its nationhood, the very foundation that informed the agreement of the various nation states to come together to form a federation called the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He explained: “Why I say Nigeria needs to invent the concept of its nationhood is that the various military interventions in the polity and politics of Nigeria starting from 1966 to 1999 completely destroyed the basic content of the agreement on the basis of which the various nation states represented by their leadership of that time, the founding fathers came together to form a federation. This would be seen in the fiscal federalism otherwise called resource control. It would be seen in the creation and management of the institutional mechanisms that make up the governance of the country. It would also be seen in the structuring of the legal framework, principally the constitution, which is the grundnorm of Nigeria. There has been an attempt to change the goal post in the middle of the game as far as the legal framework of the Nigerian nation is concerned.

“If you pick the 1999 constitution of Nigeria even as amended and place it side by side with 1979 constitution and the 1963 constitution, you will get to discover that what you have in 1963 constitution was radically different from what we now have in both the 1999 and 1979 constitution. It is therefore, imperative that Nigeria goes back to the very foundation of its commission to re-invent itself. This will re-introduce trust, which is now lacking and it would now create the trust that has been completely wiped out of Nigeria, the mutual trust of the various nation states…

…. Nigeria has to adopt the 1963 constitution in terms of federalism, in terms of fiscal control, in terms of the distribution, management and control of resources in the country…

…. But our low point as a nation is the corruption of our foundation. Even this attempt of fighting corruption in Nigeria is a useless waste of time and resources. The greatest corruption that we need to fight is the corruption of our foundation which is the constitution.

The constitution of Nigeria that established Nigerian federation was the 1963 constitution..."

I completely agree with this submission but before that those who derailed the 1963 constitution must be identified, paraded like criminals they are n then stoned to death.

Only after that can we return to 1963 constitution

Of course! All the Nigerian constitutions from 1966-1999 were imposed on this nation by the military who are mainly the vestigial components of the northern military coup plotters of the post-July 1966 era.

If I may asked what happened to the 1963 constitution? and what guarantee do we have that after the reversal the same set of people would not ask for re-reversal to the 1999 constitution as was the previous case when things does not go their way. Confused set of people that think everything revolves around them
