- The elder statesman stated that Nigeria’s constitution is more like paperwork for the military
Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has revealed that Nigeria’s constitution is not working.
He disclosed this during an interview on Arise on Monday.
The elder statesman stated that Nigeria’s constitution is more like paperwork for the military.
He questioned why the current constitution allows politicians to share monthly largesse in Abuja.
The PDP chieftain reiterated the call for restructuring Nigeria, stressing that it’s an antidote to secession agitation in Nigeria.
“The constitution we are running is not working, it’s more like paperwork for a military organization; why should everybody head to Abuja monthly to collect their largess; it’s not working, what does the president do with my local government or that in Sokoto? Nothing.
“Politics is local and we want to see that the restructuring everybody is talking about is the path we should take instead of taking arms and shooting people which is a modern-day Robin Hood,” he added.
