As Nigeria celebrates its 64th independence anniversary, a former National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Lai Olurode, on Monday, said the 1999 Constitution as amended remains an albatross to the development of the country.
This was contained in an independence anniversary message Olurode made available to The Guardian in Ibadan.
The professor stated that the constitution remains an obstacle to the realisation of the country’s full potential.
He noted that the constitution fostered a sense of dependency between the central government and the federating units.
