Leader of Yoruba Organization, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, has observed that most problems confronting Nigeria are product of the 1999 Constitution, advising that it must dumped in order to put an end to most of the problems stunting the growth of the country.
Speaking on 63rd independence anniversary of Nigeria on Channels Television on Saturday, Adebanjo revealed that “Nigeria’s political, economic and cultural problems are based on the way we are running the nation under a wrong Constitution that was not embedded when we got our independence”.
He noted that Nigeria would be put on the right path once the 1999 Constitution imposed on the country by the military is changed.
A cording to him “We lost the ball when the military seized control and changed the constitution
“They imposed a constitution on us which is the cause of the problem today. So, we should go back to where we were, by changing this constitution, that’s the bottom line of our problem.
“All the problems we are having are based and embedded in the fraudulent constitution by the military. You cannot rule this country under a unitary system of government.
“We have this problem of disunity because of the unitary form of government the colonialists were using, but when we inverted to federalism after the London Constitutional Conference in 1953 which came into office in 1954. Before then, there were no questions or issues.”
