Author:Afe Babalola, senior advocate of Nigeria , says the 1999 constitution will not guarantee the emergence of credible leaders at the 2023 polls.He was reacting to the endorsement of Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party , by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
“I still stand by my suggestion that any election conducted under the 1999 constitution cannot, and will not, produce new leaders with new ideas.“Any election conducted under the 1999 constitution will merely result in recycling the same people who brought Nigeria to grinding poverty, mass unemployment, underfunded education, insecurity, and huge external debt.”
“I am an elder statesman, a SAN, the highest taxpayer in old Ondo state, the highest taxpayer in present Ekiti, owner of the best private university in Nigeria, and many more,” he added.
