“I have no sympathy for any Nigerian who is aspiring to rule Nigeria in any form, whether as a legislator, governor, or president. However, the fact remains that the 1999 Constitution, in large measure, is the root cause of the economic, social, political, and religious problems in the country today. Nigeria has gone down to a ridiculous position with the notorious rating of the “poverty capital of the world.
“In my address to the press on April 18, 2022, I urged the Federal Government to suspend the 2023 election. The suggestion was made pursuant to Section 9 of the 1999 Constitution.” Babalola said without compromising due process, “All that the National Assembly needs to do is propose an Act to amend the present constitution by substituting the 1960 and 1963 constitutions for the 1999 Constitution and also to establish an interim national government pending the making of a new constitution.
“The huge external debt of N42.84tn, increasing cases of killing, kidnapping, mismanagement of public funds, unemployment, strikes, poor allocation of funds for education in federal institutions, double-digit inflation.”All rights reserved.

I endorse his stance. The present system will only leave us to run around in a quagmire.
Our elders and those being looked upon should always give Nigerians proper perspective on national issues. There is no where in advance democracies where they suspended election and constitutional governance to amend constitution. Likewise there is no perfection in any
Election will hold and we will progress sir
Wetin be dis? 🙄
“Any election conducted under the 1999 Constitution will merely result in recycling the same people who have brought Nigeria to grinding poverty, unemployment, underfunded education, insecurity, and huge external debt.” according to Afe Babalola
This is the best and most precious opportunity for old people like Afe Babalola to compel the youths to vote for Peter Obi and make heaven for amending his ways in national issues.
He can insist all he wants, election must be held, new leaders must be chosen by eligible Nigerian voters, not the elites.
Departmental Elections, Faculty or SUG?
E don start?
I agree with you 💯 sir
