“There is no sincerity in the amendment,” the elder statesman said during an appearance on Politics Today, a day after lawmakers voted on more than 60 proposed amendments including granting autonomy to local governments.
“Who are those making the amendment? Those are the beneficiaries of fraud in the Constitution,” he said. “How are you amending a Constitution you didn’t take part in. Did we make it? What is our input? A Constitution that tells lies about itself.” Asked about what it would take to replace the Constitution, Chief Adebanjo placed the responsibility of ensuring it is changed on the people.
The President has on occasions expressed reservations about issues such as the clamour for state police and Chief Adebanjo believes that shouldn’t be the case. “Let us be fair to ourselves, we are changing the Constitution now and the man who is supposed to do it is now telling you, ‘No, I don’t believe in state police’. And that is the key thing to this Constitution. One of the conditions that make our governors lame-duck governors.”
That's if Nigeria is a country. We're in hell already. nobody living in nigeria should go hell
It must be replace, Nigeria is the only democracy that do not have a constitution by the people
That's the least we expect. That constitution is a scam
