Only God knows the "core North" Muslims feel jittery over new Constitution for Nigeria to reinvent True Federalism. Of course it is understandable because a truly Federal Constitution with decentralized security architecture will truncate their dream Islamization agenda with terrorists masquerading as herdsmen imported from the Sahel region of West Africa as the foot-soldiers.
"The 1960/1963
Constitution was working perfectly but the Northern Moslems destroyed it by
flagrantly violating the provisions ostensibly to impose their decadent values
on the rest of ethnic nationalities. Apart from the supposed “Core North
", all other ethnic nationalities are dissatisfied with the
"Federal-Unitary contraption referred to as the 1999 constitution
supposedly under amendments ostensibly pander to the Inanities, venality of
preferences of the core North.
They made sure that the
committee on the so-called constitution amendments were filled with their
surrogates hence the rejection of decentralizing security architecture by the
Committee.
In the interview with Daily
Sun, Sunday September 15, 2024, Sheikh Ahmed Gumi, who is noted for sympathy
for the so-called "bandits and criminals “manning the so-called
"ungoverned spaces” (but all parts of the South are effectively governed)
pretended to support new Constitution but said that time for it has not come.
Hear him:
"I support the drive, but
the timing is not right. Any attempt by the government to tamper with the
Constitution now is like opening a Pandora’s Box.
"The current constitution
is not a problem. The problem is in its implementation. Democracy itself gives
equal opportunity to all citizens. But in practice, only a few are getting the
dividend of democracy especially here in Nigeria.
“Now that we are facing a very
stubborn economic situation, Nigeria is not in its right senses to tamper with
the constitution. If we do, it won’t end well".
Comment:
Of course, he spoke true to
type in line with the position of the Moslems from the "Core North"
who have veiled position to maintain the Centralist Constitution imposed by the
military which has been at their advantage to have their way in virtually all
aspects of governance in the 'dying' country.
In sane and sanitized
Federations, People's Constitution is the bedrock of government; it is the
First thing to do which gives direction to governance. How can Gumi say that
the problem of Nigeria is "its implementation": implementing a
fundamentally fraudulent and flawed Federal-Unitary Constitution?
At times when you read the
minds of the northern Moslems with respect to the corporate affairs of this
country, you feel very sorry for the country, no wonder that the country is
wobbling and on the pathway to stoney Golgotha.
Of course they are jittery over
the call by the eminent Nigerians referred to as "The Patriots" (led
by the former Secretary General of Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku) who,
having articulated the primary and proximate causes of the tragedy that has
befallen Nigeria, visited president Tinubu and solemnly advised him to accord
the Convoking of Constituent Assembly top priority for a New Constitution which
will give the country a headway to solve all the man-made problems that have
destroyed the country
Sadly, the president had to
rely and defer to the "Core North" demi-gods who believe that they
would be dictating how Nigeria should be governed. He would not touch that area
because it would be a sure way to truncate the dream Islamization agenda.
Terrorists masquerading as herdsmen imported from the Sahel region of West
Africa have the northern borders flung open for their infiltration ostensibly
for ethnic cleansing and territorial expansion to swell the population of
Moslems. Who is fooling whom?
