Foremost human right activist and lawyer, Mr Femi Falana, SAN, has directed that former president Olusegun Obasanjo be held responsible for loopholes in the constitution.Speaking in Lagos, last week, during the launch of the minority report written by Professor Olusegun Osoba and Dr. Yusufu Bala Usman, Mr.
Falana said that unknown to the youths of this generation, the ‘Not Too Young to Run’ campaign was initially championed by Osoba and late Usman, 43 years ago. ”According to them, the immunity provisions contradict violently the fundamental principle of the equality of all citizens before the law and is an unwarranted attempt to shield these high officials of the state from the full rigours of the law as would apply to the other citizens of Nigeria in similar situations of misconduct or improper conduct.

vanguardngr Yes OBJ is responsible for Nigeria constitutional problems because the 1999 constitution was done in his favour instead poor people. OBJ himself know how many bags of Ghana must go he distributed to reps and Senates to make the constitution favour him.
vanguardngr But obasanjo is no longer in power,why can't the current government do something about the loopholes in the constitution sir!
vanguardngr Confused man
vanguardngr Obasanjo is the architect of most, if, not all ills Nigeria faces today. All because of his greed and egocentricity. Unfortunately, he has ruined beyond repairs a great opportunity to live forever in the hearts of the Nigerian people and in particular, those of his constituency
vanguardngr This one will blame everybody for Nigeria's present problem except PMB.....Coward oshi
vanguardngr Shut up! You hypocrite that can only dwell in the past. Why not speak truth to the monster that we have now?
vanguardngr We will hold you falana for ur foolishness and also for bringing doom to nigerians by supporting bubusherrif.dont worry,they will soon settle you.
vanguardngr Yeye Senior Advocate of Nonsense, Obasanjo na yaa problem? He left office some 12 yrs ago. It's you and your MCM Buhari that's the problem.
vanguardngr He finds his voice.
vanguardngr AbadaEfeJulius - EKPAAAA!
vanguardngr Stop calling the name of obasanjo this man of falana
vanguardngr And Buhari for every security loophole.
vanguardngr We can continue to blame and point accusing fingers but the best thing to do is having constitutional amendments for all observed loopholes. We should stop all these blame games stopping this nation from progression and squarely address all the ills militating Nigeria.
vanguardngr Please stop bluffing sir. If you have any issue with the old man, walk to him n talk.
