Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, an eminent statesman, has supported former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s claim that Nigeria’s issues are not with the Constitution or term of office.
According to Yakasai, Nigeria’s constitutional authorities are to blame for the country’s issues.
The former Special Advisor to former President Shehu Shagari on matters pertaining to the National Assembly, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, of The Patriots, recently demanded a new Constitution during a meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

Yakasai said in a statement released on Wednesday that even the best Constitution would fall short if the nation’s leaders didn’t adopt a different attitude and way of acting.
He said: “As a founding member of this esteemed group and an elder statesman committed to the well-being of our nation, I must express my reservations about both the process and the content of the submission made during this visit.
“First, it is regrettable that due process was not followed in articulating the views that were presented to the president. A matter of such national importance requires thorough consultation, inclusive deliberation and the consensus of all founding members.
“The exclusion of key voices, particularly in a group like The Patriots, undermines the credibility and unity of our mission. It is essential that our decisions and representations are rooted in collective wisdom and not rushed or unilateral actions.

“Second, I align with the views expressed by President Olusegun Obasanjo that the core problem facing Nigeria is not necessarily the constitution or the tenure of office. The crux of our challenges lies in the attitude and character of those who operate the constitution.”
