Constitution Review a pointless activity, exercise in futility, public assets — Afenifere

The Yoruba Socio-Political Group, Afenifere has portrayed the continuous cycle of correcting the 1999 Constitution as a pointless activity that can’t accomplish any significant outcome.

Secretary-General of the gathering, Chief Sola Ebiseni said this in a meeting with newsmen in Akure. Ebiseni was reacting on why the gathering, didn’t present an update to the Senate Committee on the Amendment of the Constitution, which finished its Public Hearing in Akure, Ondo State capital yesterday.

The previous magistrate in the state said that “Afenifere trusts in and advocates major rebuilding of Nigeria for the reexamination of a government constitution as the concurred standards of administering Nigeria and its different ethnic identities by our initial architects, which will eventually supplant the forced 1999 unitary constitution.

“Revising the constitution is a pointless activity and an exercise in futility and public asset. “We can’t profess to be a government Republic and be administered by a unitary constitution. “We can’t profess to be in a vote based system and be represented by a constitution that doesn’t exude by individuals. “Change won’t fix the irregularities. You can’t put something on anything and anticipate that it should stand. “Each meeting of the two arms of the National Assembly, since 2007, has left on a similar celebration of sacred change spending public assets on formal conferences, with no outcome. “The National Assembly is part of the issue to be resolved during the time spent rebuilding and can’t really be the adjudicator in such exercise.

Ebiseni said that ” This is clear from the judgment of the announcements of the Southern Governors on the side of rebuilding by both the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives while the Committees, as specialists of the National Assembly, were gallivanting around the country. From nothing, nothing comes. Ex nihilo nihil fit.”
