The President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief John Nwodo and Afenifere leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo had last week carpeted the 1999 Constitution, saying Northern Muslim Military forced it on Nigeria. Narrating how the 1999 Constitution was adopted, Yadudu said that the Committee chaired by the late Justice Tobi moved around the country with Nigerians overwhelmingly demanding for 1979 Constitution, which is the presidential system, saying that there is little difference between 1999 Constitution and 1979 Constitution. My take on the 1999 Constitution is that it was adopted along the 1979 Constitution. What is in this feature that is uniquely an imposition of either 1979 or 1999 constitution? He stated that he has no problem with restructuring provided the action is carried out in line with the existing legal order, which is the 1999 constitution.
