Well that's the vibe they give. Pure arrogance.

99% of Ndigbo political difficulties boils down to pride, arrogance and a chronic reluctance to stoop to conquer. Otherwise they would at least attempt to lobby reps and senators from other regions to support constitutional amendment to allow referendum.

Same hubris is what makes them think they can demand presidency instead of rolling up their sleeves and lobbying nationwide to win support like Tinubu is doing so effectively.

Ohanaeze ndi Igbo is working with other ethnic groups round the clock to change current Nigeria constitution.
Also doing the needful over president of Igbo extraction in 2023 in consulting with other stakeholders.For a biased mind like you their efforts will never be enough for you/

There is no referendump/secession in Nigeria constitution, Nnamdi Azikwe was one of those who rejected the clause in the constitution.

There must be a change in constitution before debating about referendum

The law , as constituted, does not allow for referendum for secession

However, what can be done is to amend the constituion to allow for a referendum for secession...which is a process requiring a two-third majority in the Senate, House of reps, plus two thirds of all state assemblies.

REFERENDUM doesn't have to be in your constitution for it to be given....REFERENDUM IS ONE OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAWS

We can't get that with the crops of legislators at hand now, the first step is to discourage money politics by cutting their salaries to level 10(lower) level 12(sanate) no allowance whatsoever, 3 sittings in a week, with this, u will only see egg heads in legislative chambers. Then we can now talk of new constitution.

The change in constitution is long over due but I really don't know why our lawmakers have not debated about it.. That one on its own is a long process.

As for boycotting, are the leaders ready to talk about change in constitution? What are they boycotting when they are benefiting from the unworkable constitution


Gbam!!! EOD
