A non-partisan group of eminent Nigerians known as ‘The Patriots’, has reiterated the need to have a federal constitution that is people friendly in Nigeria.

The Chairman of The Patriots and former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku who stated this at a hybrid event on Monday in Lagos, said there was a serious need for a new democratic constitution that will tackle the knotty issues of a pluralistic country like Nigeria.

Anyaoku stated that pluralistic countries exist when they have tackled issues that threaten their co-existence and have a constitution that is for the people.

The octogenarian who witnessed the inauguration of a committee for the processing of federal constitution, stated that, “Nigeria needs a federal constitution that tackles all the challenges we are having like insecurity, banditry, kidnapping and others faced by the people. Nigeria as a pluralistic country needs this constitution to prevent it from disintegrating like other nations that have diverse attributes of a pluralistic state and later disintegrated. Countries like Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Susan.”

Anyaoku, while answering questions from journalists at the event, noted that the political group was not advocating for a detour to a regional government like it was decades before, but for the people to be governed under a constitution that protects and unites them as the present constitution was faulty in different areas.
