Anyaoku, others meet Tinubu, call for new constitution



 


Eminent Nigerians under the aegis of The Patriots on Friday met with President Bola Tinubu at the State House, Abuja and called for a people's democratic constitution.

The Patriots also advised the President alongside the state governors to dialogue with the leaders of the ongoing protests in the country and warned security agencies to avoid using lethal weapons on the protesters.

Briefing State House correspondents after the meeting, the leader of The Patriots, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, disclosed that another demand his group made was the call for the President to send Executive Bill to the National Assembly and to convene a National Constituent Assembly that will draft a new constitution for the country.

He said that the Constituent Assembly would consist of individuals elected by the people on non party basis from each of the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.

The former Secretary General of the Commonwealth further said that the new constitution should make provision for a referendum.
