The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, says it will be unrealistic and unpatriotic to contemplate holding general elections in 2023 without a new constitution.

How to get a new constitution

“But before talking about the form, let me emphasise that there should be no artificially prescribed number of regions in a manner that may foreclose the rights of the people that desire to organise themselves as a semi-autonomous regional member of the Nigerian State so long as the territory desiring such regional status can guarantee its self-sustenance and viability as an entity.

“Afenifere is hereby proposing as one of the resolutions of this summit, a template that would make it possible for – indeed, encourage – every ethnic nationality to organise themselves and prepare terms that would guide their relationship with other ethnic nationalities in the country in a harmonious and mutually respecting manner. From such a collation of terms would emerge regional constitutions out of which the national constitution would be forged.

He proposed that the new constitution, going by Afenifere’s plan, should become effective from October 1, 2022. “A committee can be set up to work out the details of the proposal hereby suggested. We are ready to present the details as we conceive it to the said Committee if formed,” Mr Adebanjo said.In its presentation, Awal Abdullah, said the northern part of Nigeria was ready for breakaway should other regions agree.

“The worst amongst us is being enthroned to manage our affairs,” the erstwhile Speaker said on Monday in Abuja.
