Independence: 1999 Constitution Is Not Nigeria’s Problem – Gen Abdulsalami

But talking about young people participating in politics, we had that in the 1970s when more young people assumed leadership positions. Today, the conversation is different. As much as many young people are trying to come out and join politics, they have been shut out of the conversation?

Indeed, we should be doing better than what we are doing today. Politics especially in developing countries and indeed in all over is now becoming a matter of resources. Unfortunately, the younger generation have not gotten as much resources as the older generation who have been in politics.

Well, it is not about who wrote the constitution, it is about how it is practiced. There is no constitution in the world that is completely, one hundred percent correct and it is unfortunate that people who participated in drafting the 1999 Constitution are not being appreciated for the work they did. If you look at the 1999 and 1979 Constitutions, there is not too much difference.

Well, like I said, in any society there are always problems here and there and the only way is to sit down and look at the problems and try to see as much as possible how you resolve the issues. Of course, you will find people with grievances, one way or the other, so it is left for the authorities and also those involved in the Education system to look at it and see how it can be resolved.

It depends. Unfortunately, the 1999 Constitution removed the role of the traditional rulers’ institution on one side. Well, they can do quite a lot to make sure the system works. So I think if society feels and our members feel they need to bring them back to the system so be it.In recent times, you have been seeing a lot of presidential candidates coming into Niger State. Have you in any way endorsed a particular candidate?Security is everybody’s business.

It's definitely part of the problem.

Not unexpected from him. After all, he is the architect and mastermind of the flawed and retrogressive document called Nigeria's constitution.

Nigeria @ 62: What Do We Tell Our Heroes? By Titilope T.
