Igbos don suffer for Nigeria they neva smell presidency. Even vice presidency they miss road while Yorubas have been president twice and vice president once. It's mostly Yoruba and Hausa that are draging presidency.

mrvitalis:

Igbos lose at everything? Mehn this is the last response you would ever see from me

You are not worth it

Munamu:






So it is obasanjo that introduced 1999 constitution Abi? Oga pls face your okrika business and stop spreading ffake news

9jatriot:
Which kind lie be this? When exactly did Obj draft this new constitution?

If your lie lie write up is to be believed then what you are saying is that Obasanjo was sworn in with one constitution whereas he went on to create another constitution which only you and your whatsapp group know when it was done.

Toosure70:
don't mind the dead brain

OALandAgents:
In a political system that operates tribalism, enshrining rotational presidency in the constitution is a very reasonable way to ensure every geopolitical zone gets a fair opportunity to hold the presidency.

OALandAgents:
So you believe a president who enters office with a new constitution does not have any say in what is contained in that constitution?

Common now, let us use some common sense here!

OALandAgents:
1979-83 We had an Igbo as a vice president, in the person of the Late Alex Ekwueme which was in the Shehu Shagari civilian administration that Obasanjo's military regime handed power to.

AntiMarxist:


You are being extremely annoying and irritating with this your atypical IPOB irrational daft conspiracy.

How and when did Obasanjo decide to single handedly edit and ammend the constitution ?

Were both the Legislature and judiciary that are also supposed to uphold the constitution sleeping ? What of the respective state assemblies and governors ?

You people always bring up daft and silly conspiracies.

Show us the original constitution that had provisions for rotational presidency.

You IPOB cretins have really reduced the quality of this forum with your stupid posts and threads .

The day you all fck off back to your Facebook IPOB group page , they better off this site will be.

AntiMarxist:


Not going to work.

Best thing to do is return to regional governance using the existing 6 geopolitcal regions.

Go and develop and govern yourselves in your region using whatever resources you have instead of hoping on using the current centrist system selfishly.

The reason you guys are all crying for Ibo presidency shows how tribalistic your ambitions are.

OALandAgents:
It was not Abacha's draft constitution, rather it is Nigeria's draft constitution, that is why doing what is best for the country should be prioritize above personal squabbles and egos.

It is a fact because the collage he claimed to have graduated in 1970 was created in 1974, isn't that a clear fraud to you?

fregeneh:
thats a miss normal right there.

Ojiofor:


Tifnubu is a scam thatsall.

Throwback:


The OP is the perfect example of ignorance on steroids.

AntiMarxist:


Can you tell us when this phantom 1995 draft constitution was approved by Abacha ?

Which constitution was used by the IBB military junta during the very brief third Republic transition ?

How did the 1999 constitution come to replace this draft 1995 constitution ?


Which decree by Abacha approved this phantom 1995 constitution ?

The only thing I could get from your rants here is that of your support for the sponsored amendment bill by your SE legislators that is currently pending in the Senate to introduce rotational Presidency.

At no time in history of Nigeria has there been any talk of rotational presidency in any of our constitutions. Rather the talk for one is being now proposed by your Ibo legislators.

Lastly, I see you hold same hatred for a return to regionalism or state autonomy just like all your politicians have done since independence .

I have said it here time without number that the greatest opposition to restructuring and devolving of central authority is the Ibo and not the north. You have proved my point once again.

OALandAgents:
I only state facts Obasanjo was at the very least in agreement with taking out rotational presidency from the constitution that was introduced at the start of his presidency.

Fact number 2: Obasanjo's government amended the 1999 constitution severally during his 8 years as president but never even attempted to add the rotational presidency clause to the 1999 constitution amendments.

Fact number 3: Obasanjo at the end of the his presidency did not give the presidential candidate ticket or VP ticket to an Igbo

Internet is your friend and re-read my original post and try to comprehend.

SmartyPants:


I read your original post and the only conclusion I could arrive at is that you are one heck of an ignorant dude. Imagine the lunacy of claiming Obasanjo introduced the 1999 Constitution. After being corrected instead of retracting the nonsense, you are changing mouth.

OMBIIGA:
Point of corrections Gen A.A, approved the 1999 constitution.

OALandAgents:
You can't comprehend and I can't help you.

SmartyPants:


Be quiet my friend! You've been corrected by so many persons. Shut up and learn quietly.

OALandAgents:
Yes his presidency introduced it and he had to have consented to it at the very least. He also never tried to reintroduce the rotational presidency in his several amendments of the constitution over his 8 year tenure.

Munamu:



Get your facts right my son. Abdulsalam introduced the 1999 constitution. I understand your pain, but pls tell it to igoo aristocrats who sold out the Igbo presidency for crumbs. An example is your uncle igbokwe in lagos. The ex commissioner for gutter affairs

OALandAgents:
You missing the point of the thread. Clearly Obasanjo agreed with Abdulsalami decision to ditch the 1995 draft constitution which would have guaranteed all geopolitical zones the chance to have the presidency.

Furthermore , Obasanjo handed over after his 8 years without even giving Igbos the VP ticket.



I think I get you right, but don't forget that it is the duty of the national Assembly to make or amend laws for the nation. This is specified in section 4 of the 1999 constitution as amended. A president does not have absolute veto power.









Obasanjo's govt amended the flawed 1999 constitution severally over his 8 years but still failed to even attempt to add the provision for rotational presidency , which would have guaranteed an Igbo president by now.
