There is a need to shed a little light on the doctrine of sovereignty in view of the state of our nation, Nigeria.
Sovereignty remains a fundamental and an inalienable right of every citizen. Section 2 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended states that, Nigeria is one indivisible and indissoluble sovereign nation to be known by the name of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
However there is a need to state that sovereignty like other fundamental human rights is the natural endowment of all human beings. Sovereignty simply means the authority to rule or control a territory which dates back to the story of the biblical Adam of the Holy Bible whom God after creation blessed and gave dominion over all things. The word dominion is another word for sovereignty, it is the authority to control and rule one's territory.
It cannot be construed therefore, that the power donated to the government included that of parting with the personal possession of the people without their knowledge. Any act of government that purports to part or tamper with the sovereignty of the people without at least a referendum will be ultra vire the power donated to the government.
