Nigeria must not completely dump current constitution – Abba Moro

Abba Moro, Senate Minority Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, emphasized that Nigeria should not completely discard the current constitution but rather amend it for a better governance system. He highlighted the need for power devolution, citing a previous recommendation by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Moro pointed out that the current constitution has led to crises and military interventions, urging for a gradual improvement rather than a complete overhaul. He emphasized the importance of a living document that can be amended to address issues without violating basic human rights.

Moro suggested that the country should focus on making gradual changes towards a more perfect constitution, rather than completely starting over. He urged for a thoughtful and inclusive process to ensure that all voices are heard in the constitutional reform.
