Good.

of course it will be a fruitless meeting, no be naija.

Waste of time.

Tear the entire paper, it's useless.

A step in the right direction. Kudos! Senator that wants only Biafra of the mind , I sight you

We await the end product.

One day is not enough for the review.

My take.

That constitution needs a total overhaulment. A lot of things need to change. So I don't think scheduling one day for Imo and Abia is enough.

End nigeria now yorubanationnow

The problem is that these politicians will always mouth and project their own interests in the stead of the people's.

When you decide wrongly, know you will have ESN and the people to tackle.

the gatekeepers of the east have arrived

Senator Abaribe has been doing his job.

ABAribe, Kalu, Theodore Orji were once governor, deputy governor and Chief of Staffs in Abia state without anything to show, the three clowns are now in the Senate chamber representing their different constituencies still without nothing to show. Their only achievement is insulting Buhari and Tinubu cos that's what their people want to hear and not physical infrastructures.

The names alone hmmm

Only abaribe will speak the truth there, the rest are Fulani purpets. We need sanity in this country therefore that military document called 1999 constitution must be trashed away. We must go back to the true dreams of our founding fathers which is true federalism.
Nigeria is dead, children less than 15 now carry guns as bandits. Enough is enough!

Eleribu you're not Yoruba

But when the foundation is faulty, no amount of repairs done on the wall or roof will be meaningful. Dispose the fraudulent document in its entirety and write another truly by the people.
