The 1999 Constitution Is Nigeria’s Greatest Misadventure Since 1914 -Bisi Akande by Nobody: 4:26pm On Dec 13, 2020 |
Bisi Akande, former interim chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has described the 1999 constitution as the country’s “greatest misadventure” since the 1914 amalgamation of northern and southern Nigeria by British colonial administrator, Frederick Lugard. “Nigeria began as a controversial state of many nations. The 1999 Constitution is Nigeria’s greatest misadventure since Lugard’s amalgamation of 1914,” he said. “The constitution puts emphasis on spending rather than making money, thereby intensifying the battles for supremacy between the legislature and the executive while the judiciary is being corruptly tainted and discredited. “The constitution breeds and protects corrupt practices and criminal impunity in governance. The 1999 Constitution can never be beneficially reviewed and the ongoing piecemeal adjustments or amendments can only totally blot the essence of national values and accelerate the de-amalgamation of Nigeria. “All the angels coming from heavens cannot make that constitution work for the progress of Nigeria. It should only be scrapped as bad relics of military mentality; and it ought to be temporarily replaced with the 1963 republican constitution to enable a transition for the writing of a suitable constitution.” The national assembly has already begun amendments to the constitution. |
