A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, MIKE OZEKHOME, has urged President BOLA TINUBU to muster the political will to get Nigeria what he described as a people-center constitution.

The human rights lawyer was a guest on a monitored television program argued that the 1999 Constitution was military-imposed, and not subject to any referendum. 

According to him, Nigeria needs an indigenous and people-centric constitution to redirect the country’s “journey of no destination” because Nigeria is a country still yearning for nationhood. 

He added that the brand-new constitution must be subjected to the referendum of the people via a constituents’ assembly.

OZEKHOME further stated that economic reforms, no matter how good they are, must not be put before a people-center constitution. 

The Senior Lawyer insisted that the National Assembly must agree to a new constitution for the problems of Nigeria to vanish.
