Senior Advocate of Nigeria, OCJ Okocha, says the amendment of Nigeria’s constitution is long overdue, noting that he expected the process to begin when former President Olusegun Obasanjo assumed office in 1999 after military rule.
Okocha emphasized that constitutional amendment should not be the sole responsibility of the National Assembly but must involve the participation of all Nigerians.
Describing the exercise as crucial, the former Nigerian Bar Association President noted that the 2014 National Conference convened by former President Goodluck Jonathan was a relatively better step in the right direction.
On calls for a brand-new constitution, Okocha expressed skepticism, saying such a move may be difficult to realize.
