What a naive statement. Suspend the constitution and put democracy on hold while constituting a new system using a group that has corrupted the system for many years. How’s this going to deliver different results?

Trash this statement and try again sir.
Read in between the lines. Shouldn’t be a military coups. We don’t want that nah!

A stupid old and senile Afonja talking trash.

That was how the pee poo drug lord insisted PVCs have expired.

Seems they get stupider with age…

Who is gonna be in charge of the interim govt? Military or civilian?

Secondly, how sure is he that the interim govt will fix the problems that Buhari and Osinbajo have created in the past 7 years?

This is simply madness

It’s unconstitutional and shouldn’t have come out of someone who has ever been in the four walls of an educational institution not to talk of one that studied law.

It’s an embarrassment.

Meanwhile, this video below is the most intelligent thing you’d find on Nigerian internet space. If you argue against zoning, then answer the question, are Democratic tenets cast in stone?

The man made some brilliant and notable points that can help in reversing the imminent collapse of this unsustainable entity called Nigeria.

You, on the other hand, wrapped in your characteristic bigotry and defective intelligence, have not provided any meaningful, empirical rebuttal. All you did was bark out insults like a rabid dog on heat. I pray your miserable life gets salvaged before it's too late

Meanwhile, Chief Afe Babalola only needed to add structural changes to the organic changes he proposed. Of course, this current brand of federalism cannot aid any tangible changes at the federal level.

TBH this is absurd!

Chief Afe Babalola was very close to Obasanjo and the PDP during his presidency. Why didn’t he steer OBJ and the PDP in that very-life-changing-direction for amending Nigeria’s constitution when it was within their reach to do so?

Or is it now that he doesn’t have direct influence on the presidency that such laudable and far reaching ideas are helpful? huh

Politicians and political hangers-on are mostly hypocrites imho.

An interim government is unknown to law, so it will be treated exactly like the Shonekan experiment - declared null and void by the courts. And subsequently, the military will be justified to take over.
It may not be known to law but it is not unknown to the military barracks! Shine your eyes Sir!

I said in my piece that it is not the system of government that failing Nigerian people. It the people who run the system. These people include but not limited to legislative branch of the Nigerian government. Now, since Nigeria began practicing democracy in 1999, not ounce have i heard the legislative branch of the Nigerian government checked against abuses of power going in Buhari administration. The 1999 constitution of Nigeria provides for checked and balances and separation of powers by each branch of government against the other.

Have these special functions been carried out by the Nigerian lawmakers?
The short answer is no. So, my question to you is why do you want to keep these kind of lawmakers on the payroll?

Supported. Nigeria needs a new constitution that would restructure the country. Only an interim government would make it possible.

Re: Afe Babalola: Suspend 2023 Elections, Install Interim Govt For Six Months by Safyqueen: 11:26pm On Apr 18, 2022
This people always claim they are learned but always hide the truth. This very 1999 constitution they call military constitution was just a mirror of 1979 constitution that was drawn by purely democratic shagari regime with just very few, I mean very few addition and deletion of any at all. That of 1979 was even a revised version of the old one drawn by the civilians before Aguiyi Ironsi regime.

So just because it was passed by committee drawn by Abdulsalam regime which majority of them are not also military, then it has become something else. The Constitution as it is presently is not our problem, the problem is we the people. Those waiting to have opportunity to enter and steal are more than those stealing already.

Those waiting to sabotage the system if they are not the one ruling are also planning with alternative A, B and C.

How does constitutional change become the solution to the above.

Those killing in the north are Hausa Fulanis, those killing in the east are Igbos, those mining skulls and cultism in the west are Yorubas. Those undermining and sabotaging NNDC are Niger Deltans , now how does babalola intends to deal with all these if he is asked to head that interim government he is proposing.

If the masses are ready we can amend our constitution to suit our present conditions without going backwards.

Maybe the man wants one young military guy to take over with the chaos that will engross that unconstitutional interim fiasco government.

Yeye.. Are u now saying you're more learned and rooted in law related issue than Afe Babalola. He's been practicing law far before you were born. So he sure knows wat he's saying. Who made d law.? Is it not man. So d law made can be modified and changed. Your point holds no water.

Unfortunately for his old age, he suggested involving people he accused responsible for destroying the Nation in the interim govt.
Past leaders destroyed the Nation Judiciary took away the right and privileges of common man and sell it at the highest bid.
The constitution is a product of people he wants to form the interim govt with.

I hereby volunteer to head the interim government as the exalted Maximum Leader and Area Fada of Nigeria bestowed with unlimited powers to do and undo at both federal and state levels of authority. The first order of the day will be to legalize marijuana for medical and recreational consumption, with taxes imposed on commercial farms and exporters so as to open up gigantic revenue streams for government and investors alike.

The second directive I will issue will be to formalize a revenue-sharing formula based on the income generated by each state, whereby those in the Niger Delta will enjoy budgetary allocations commensurate with the proceeds of Nigeria's oil export income on the international market, while states of Northern Nigerianistan will be encouraged to enjoy the bountiful returns derived from the export of groundnuts, soya beans, millet, and camel meat.

Standing by for my call to serve in the new federal capital of Warri, conveniently relocated for close proximity to Nigeria's primary source of income, those all-important oil fields. Abuja can of course be retained as a tourist attraction where visitors from all over the world can go to ride donkeys, hunt terrorist gangs for sport, and eat suya made with meat from questionable sources.

It seems he is too old to think well, he had made some bad suggestion in the past.

"Babalola said that members of the interim government should be drawn from all living former presidents and vice-presidents; some selected ministers and governors and delegates of prominent professional associations."

I laugh. grin grin
Those he mentioned are thieves that destroyed the country.
They betrayed nigeria.
