The time for debate is over; it’s time for action. Akin Osuntokun’s proposal to revive the 1963 Constitution has sparked a crucial discussion, and the Movement for National Reformation (MNR) is urging Nigerians to demand change. Princess Gloria Omono Okojie, niece and Special Adviser to late Chief Anthony Eronmosele on Peace and Reconciliation (1999-2008), is leading the charge.
Revive the 1963 Constitution Now
“We the People” is more than just a phrase; it’s a call to action. The 1963 Constitution embodies the principles of democracy, and it’s time for Nigeria to adopt a constitution that truly represents the people’s will. As Princess Okojie emphasizes:
– “The 1963 Constitution embodies the principles of democracy… government of the people, for the people, and by the people.”
– “Using a military-handed-down constitution in a democracy is an awkwardness that should not recur.”
Take Action: Demand Constitutional Reform
The MNR has long advocated for constitutional reform, and now is the time to act. Nigerians must demand that their government:
– Adopts the 1963 Constitution to address democratic deficits
– Ensures the government represents the people’s will
– Moves the country forward with a new constitution
The Time for Waiting is Over
With constitutional review slated for 2027, Nigerians can’t afford to wait. It’s time to take action and shape the country’s constitutional future. The conversation has begun, and now it’s time for decisive action.
Join the Movement
Nigeria’s constitutional future is in the hands of its citizens. Join the MNR and demand change. Together, we can create a brighter future for Nigeria’s democracy.
