 An elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, has backed former

the country’s Constitution.

The former to ex-President Shehu Shagari on
National Assembly Matters was reacting to a call by The Patriots, led by Chief
Emeka Anyaoku, recently called for a new Constitution during a visit to
President Bola .

 

In a statement he issued on Wednesday, Yakasai said even the
best Constitution would fail without a change of mindset and conduct by the
country’s leaders.

 

He said: “As a founding member of this esteemed group and an
elder statesman committed to the well-being of our nation, I must express my
reservations about both the process and the content of the submission made
during this visit.

 

“First, it is regrettable that due process was not followed
in articulating the views that were presented to the president. A matter of
such national importance requires thorough consultation, inclusive deliberation
and the consensus of all founding members.

 

“The exclusion of key voices, particularly in a group like
The Patriots, undermines the credibility and unity of our mission. It is
essential that our decisions and representations are rooted in collective
wisdom and not rushed or unilateral actions.

 

“Second, I align with the views expressed by President
Olusegun Obasanjo that the core problem facing Nigeria is not necessarily the
constitution or the tenure of office. The crux of our challenges lies in the
attitude and character of those who operate the constitution.”
