Obasanjo seeks right operators of Nigeria’s constitution.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo emphasized that Nigeria needs the right operators of the constitution, not a perfect constitution, for good governance and promotion of citizens' welfare. 

He spoke at the National Summit on the Future of Nigeria’s Constitutional Democracy in Abuja.

Obasanjo noted that "no constitution is perfect" and that operators play a key role in implementation. 

Former Governor Victor Attah stated that the 1999 Constitution wasn't a people's constitution but a military decree imposed without consent. Attah advocated for true federalism and maximum autonomy for federating units.

On his part, the Co-Chairman, Organizing Committee of the summit, Senator Gbenga Daniel, who is the Senate Committee Chairman on Navy, described the summit as a significant step toward Nigeria's unity and development. The summit aims to address issues like governance, equity, inclusion, and national cohesion. Resolutions will be documented and presented to the presidency and National Assembly for consideration.
