The Patriots, a group of elder statesmen and eminent Nigerians has set up a consultation committee with the aim to actualize the ‘new People’s Constitution.’

Picking holes in President Bola Tinubu’s position that tackling economic challenges was his pre-occupation now, not a new constitution, The Patriots said with the 1999 Constitution it would be difficult to address the problems.

Fielding questions from newsmen during the official Inauguration of the National Advocacy Committee for the actualization of a new democratic people’s constitution for Nigeria, former commonwealth Secretary general, Chief Emeka Anyaoku stressed that no leader can succeed with the 1999 constitution.

According to the elder statesman, the task of the advocacy committee is to mobilize the different sectors of the general public to sensitize them and get their support for the recommended democratic new constitution.
