Nigeria Needs New Constitution, Says Anyaoku(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – A former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Emeka Anyaoku, says that for Nigeria to move forward a new constitution is needed to arrest the problems of the country. According to the former Commonwealth scribe, for Nigeria to be a transformed country, the country needs a system of government that not only addresses Nigeria’s diversity but is also hinged on a constitution that can correctly be described as the Nigerian people’s Constitution. But all this changed when the military intervened in the country’s governance in January 1966 and changed the existing constitution”. The country can still be restored to greater peace, greater security, a renewed sense of national unity, greater political stability, and a more assured pace of economic development. Babalola said: “Until we change the constitution, there is no way we can achieve what we ought to achieve.
