Wetin make i call this one again? Another unrealistic goals by our honorable comedians or another what? I don't knw when constitutions can be so easily emend or when it can be changed without the masses' interests being soughted.
By Henry Umoru &
Inalegwu Shaibu
ABUJA — Deputy
Senate President,
Senator Ike
Ekweremadu, said
yesterday, that a
new amendment to
the 1999
Constitution would
be ready by July
2013.
Ekweremadu, who
chairs the Senate
Committee on the
Review of the
Constitution,
disclosed to
newsmen in Abuja
that the committee
had started the
process of further
amendments to the
1999 Constitution of
the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
He said: “Give and
take, our estimation
is that by July
2013, we will be
able to conclude
another set of
constitution
amendment. We
even thought we
can move faster
than that but we
are going to
engage in other
national
assignments, we
are going to
engage the 2013
budget which I
suppose will come
in September and
then ensure that
the other
legislations did not
suffer. So when we
put all these things
together, we
believe that July
2013 will be an
appropriate time to
deliver the next
set of amendment.”
Ekweremadu also
expressed the
readiness of the
Senate to work with
the House of
Representatives in
the amendment of
the constitution,
bearing in mind that
both chambers
carried out
separate
amendments in the
sixth National
Assembly.
