Its highly surprising how almost every body condemn the 1999 Constitution yet, nothing is been done about it.
I wish someone can defend or compare the the Constitution with what's been used before so the general public can know which is anti people  |

DomPerignon:
In a follow-up to the Aburi accord, Gowon promolgated Decree 8 which was meant not only to abrogate Ironsi's dissatrous Unity Decree #34 but also to strengthen the regional autonomy by providing for regional armies.
Aburi accord agreed to the unbundling of decree 34.
But when discussions were being held in Lagos after Aburi to unbundle decree 34, Ojukwu refused to attend citing "safety reasons".
Ojukwu will get his briefings from Ejoor after flying from Enugu to Benin.
When hinted on decree 8, Ojukwu said it won't stand .
The next few days , Gowon announced decree 8.
Ojukwu said this was not in agreement with the accord reached at Aburi despite decree 8 considering all the agreements reached and even further to strengthen regions.
The regional army clause was what Ojukwu was against alongside provisions to see for the carving out of COR region from the old eastern region - a demand that had been long sought by the oppressed minorities in the old eastern region.
The accord arrived at in Aburi, Ghana has the following :
1. Members agree that the legislative and executive authority of the Federal Military Government should remain in the Supreme Military Council, to which any decision affecting the whole country shall be referred for determination provided that where it is possible for a meeting to be held the matter requiring determination must be referred to military governors for their comment and concurrence.
2. Specifically, the council agreed that appointments to senior ranks in the police, diplomatic, and consular services as well as appointment to superscale posts in the federal civil service and the equivalent posts in the statutory corporation must be approved by the Supreme Military Council.
3. The regional members felt that all the decrees passed since January 15, 1966, and which detracted from previous powers and positions of regional governments, should be repealed if mutual confidence is to be restored.
As you can see, Aburi called for an end to decree 34.
Now let's look at Decree 8
appointment of judges all over the Federation ahs been abolished. Each Military Governor now controls appointment of judges of the High Court of his Region. But the appointment of the judges of both the Supreme Court of Nigeria and the High Court of Lagos is made the sole responsibility of the Supreme Military Council.
7. All appointments to posts in the superscale group 6 and above in the Public Service of the Federation and appointments to posts of Deputy Commissioner of Police and above in the Nigeria Police Force are now to be made by the Supreme Military Council. The functions formerly discharged under sections 110 and 146 of the Constitution of the Federation by the Federal Public Service Commission and the Police Service Commission respectively are now to that extent limited. 8. Appointments to the offices of Ambassador, High Commissioner and other principal representatives of the Republic in countries other than Nigeria are now, under the Decree, to be made by the Supreme Military Council.
From the above you can see that decree 8 simply codified what was agreed upon at Aburi.
What isn't explicitly mentioned in decree 8 was the Supreme Military Council divesting military authority to regional heads to which only Ojukwu disagreed with.
Now , why would Ojukwu disagree with every region having its own standing army outside the federal army ?
Because Ojukwu and his Enugu Marxists saw this as a threat to their future power grab.
A few days after decree 8, Ojukwu invaded the Midwest and installed a puppet military head of state and from there began a putsch to Lagos.
Midwest was easily invaded and occupied because despite Ejoor's demand to Gowon for arms, Gowon was hesitant to arm the Midwest because of the overwhelmingly Igboid officers and men in the Midwest army who were all sympathetic to Enugu and the Marxist coup of Jan 15, 1966.
Gowon was then forced to create states to delegitimize Biafra territorial claims over the restive anti Ibo Niger Delta provinces.
Anyone refering to Aburi is being highly deceptive as it was Ojukwu that renegaded on Aburi by invading the Midwest and declaring Biafra with the Niger Delta regions.
Aburi was a time wasting venture meant to bid time for Ojukwu who was hell bent on seizing power from Gowon and maintaining the centrist Ironsi military dictatorship.
Do not fall for their lies.
I will end this by stating that since 1999, every attempts to chip away from the dissatrous Ironsi centrist 1999 constitution has been opposed by them.
They feared Tinubu's presidency because it is the only one that can truly kickstart a return to pre Ironsi centrist authority.
Are they not the biggest beneficiaries under the system as can be seen from federal allocations in comparison to contribution to the national purse ?

I agree with Akande; however, the monster we need to first defeat is tribalism because it is the reason they will not want that 1960 constitution. Those people who don't want to embrace this suggestion will go back to their people and say that it is the Yoruba man who wants to use it for the benefit of themselves. As soon as those illiterate Hausa and Fulani hear it, they will not allow it. This is our problem. Remove tribalism and we will be fine. But can we do it? Nope. The best option is that Nigeria should split. Let us return to that 1960 era whereby each region controls its wealth. Let each region start paying its legislatures.

Thank you so much for your excellent post, we should all come to Nairaland to learn or disseminate useful information. You have played your part, hopefully others can. To further your point, Gowon didn't sufficiently arm the midwest despite pleadings by Ejoor because he didn't want to give Ojukwu an excuse to start something because there was effectively a standing army ready for battle on his doorstep. Of course Ikemba went ahead and invaded anyway and then completely lost the plot in proceeding towards Lagos. Gowon treated Ojukwu with kid gloves, a quick, strong and effective clamp down would have stopped the war ever happening. I understand why he did it though, he expected Ojukwu to ignore the hawks in the Biafran cabinet spoiling for an unwinnable war. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Asking the National Assembly to regig the 1999 constitution will not yield anything different from the existing constitution.
The 1999 constitution had no referendum of Nigerians. It is a constitution drafted by SELECTED Nigerians and its contents DICTATED BY NORTHERN MILITARY DICTATORS to legitimise the fraudulent political structure and unitary government system they created for a multi ethnic and multi religious country.
The only way to get a workable constitution for Nigeria is through a SOVEREIGN NATIONAL CONFERENCE.

Having the best Constitution under a bad leader will not make a difference - Olisa Agbakoba (SAN). But a good Constitution can prevent crime bosses from rigging their way into govt coffers. If they like let them adopt the McPherson Constitution, just reduce the powers of the Executive drastically. They be strangling the nation with their unchecked greed!  Having a bad constitution under a Messiah of a leader does not yield much positive results. We have seen how the bad constitution by military leaders led Nigeria to become the official poverty capital of the world. The political structure of Nigeria was also fraudulently changed by northern military dictators using land mass or population figures to proliferate too many mostly non viable 20 states in one region - the North - but only 17 states in the two southern regions - East and West - that formed independent Nigeria with the northern region in 1960. Land mass or population figures is NEVER used as yardstick to create too many new federating units and accruing political representation, in a country formed at independence by diverse regions. There should have been equal number of states between the three regions that formed Nigeria in 1960. Today, as other southerners ask for political restructuring of Nigeria, Northern politicians tell them to come to the National Assembly for political restructuring, knowing full well that the National Assembly is overwhelmingly overpopulated by northern legislators who will vote against any changes to the political structure and constitution. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Aburi was between two military men, 1999 constitution is also a military document. 1960 constitution is the people's document, unfortunately, some people carried out a coup, gave way to mllitary regime in Nigeria and threw away the people's constitution. Same people who should be asking Nigerians for forgiveness are still talking about a toilet paper called Aburi.
