#CAMPAIGN FOR REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS!- DR. DAVID OLUFON.

NIGERIAN POLITICIANS SHOULD STOP UNDER-ESTIMATING THE PEOPLES’ POWER!

In spite of the innumerable flaws contained in the 1999 Military Constitution of Nigeria, the crafters could not deny, but confirmed that SOVEREIGNTY BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE OF NIGERIA from whom the government through the Constitution derived all its powers and authority!

IT is common knowledge that military organizational charts are vertically-integrated in a unitary format, so the 1999 Constitution handed over to the Nigerian people at their disengagement from partisan politics on 29th May, 1999 was devoid of contributions from Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Civil Service Organizations (CSOs), the Labor/Trade Unions or impute through a National Conference, Plebiscite or even a Referendum to iron out controversial areas!
Greater powers are vested to the centre i.e. the Presidency, more that the Federating States through the 68 items on the Exclusive Legislative List! For instance, all lands in the country were grabbed in the military fashion through the obnoxious LAND USE ACT, 1978, which nationalized the land thereby depriving the citizens of decent/adequate accommodations and farm lands that could serve as collaterals for banking transactions.

The social contracts which include rights to potable water, food security/sufficiency, access roads, arable lands for massive agricultural diversification of the economy, employment opportunities, national living wages, pension facilities to the aged and retired workers etc, are mere window dressing!
The entire Constitution was written in the masculine gender to marginalize the women who have greater statistics in the national population of about 200 million people and the pronoun, "he" is regarded as UNISEX;

Other notable flaws can be found in State Creation process/procedure; Electoral organizers are expected to be members of political parties; the Judiciary and Ministry of Finance where professional and political offices are merged into one office to create more confusion; lack of a defined autonomous status of Local governments; ambiguous fiscal and revenue-sharing formula between Federal and State governments etc, many of these confusions have been re-defined at the apex court with very little reprieve! THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER CONFLICTS IN THE 1999 CONSTITUTION THAT ARE FAR MORE THAN THOSE LISTED ABOVE AND CANNOT FIND SPACE IN THIS PAPER!

CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION OF SOVEREIGNTY TO THE PEOPLE!
Quoting from Section 14: [The Government and the people] –
(1) The Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be a State based on the principles of democracy and social justice.
(2) It is hereby, accordingly, declared that-
(a) SOVEREIGNTY (ultimate, absolute power) belongs to the people of Nigeria from whom government through this Constitution derives all its powers and authority:
(b) The security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of Government; and
(c) The participation by the people in their government shall be ensured in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution.

SOVEREIGNTY in political theory is the ultimate overseer or authority, in the decision making process of a State and in the maintenance of order. This ultimate inalienable power belongs to the PEOPLE OF NIGERIA whom the military had reduced to PAPER TIGERS in their own country through a forged document which is completely alien to the people!

THE TIME OF IGNORANCE IS PAST! Join the campaign to demand for REFERENDUM through our lawmakers in the National Assembly (NASS), who will INVOKE THE “DOCTRINE OF NECESSITY” TO PRODUCE A UNICAMERAL CONSTITUTION AND A PRIME MINISTER IN 2023 INSTEAD OF ANOTHER MILITARY PRESIDENT!!
THE CITIZENS’ SOVEREIGNTY WILL BE ASSERTED NOW WITHOUT ANY CIVIL UNREST!

Tell them woo
Bt kpurumiris will never hear word.
Kpurumiri don block there ear

The people are only strong when you have a nation not a country

Nigeria is at best a state ...we are not one ...we don't think alike , we have different value system so the people can't agree easily

What do you want to tell the Hausa/ Fulani man that would make him not vote Buhari again over NOI ?

The politicians know this the people can't be united so relax with this your wishful thinking

Regional government along 6 zones with people choosing which zone to belong to in provinces is the only solution to Nigeria or outright separation

Any other thing other than towards achieving the above is an absolute waste of energy n resources

Politicians wey done chop the people akara.

Rather we should stop underestimating politicians power.
They planted tribal war to score political points and we all fell yakata into it
