A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode
George, on Tuesday described Nigeria’s constitution as “absolute rubbish.”
George made the remark while urging subsequent Nigerian
leaders to improve further from where the late former President Muhammadu
Buhari stopped.
Reacting to Buhari’s death in an interview with Channels
Television, he recalled how Buhari usually addressed him as a “rascal” during
his lifetime.
He charged Nigerians to remember Buhari for his impact on
the country during his lifetime.
He said: “For now, we must remember Oga for what he did. How
did he impact the people of this great nation? The others coming behind – what
are they going to do?
“What have they been doing in the last two years? Is there
anything positive, acceptable to the people?
“Are we still going to have this manipulated process? For
how long?
“I’m on the 8th floor of life. What else can you do than to
talk? My great-granduncle was the first Nigerian politician in 1922. He was in
the struggle of trying to build a nation when he died in 1946. That was Herbert
Macaulay.
“So, what do you want to be remembered for? What do you want
to do to remove these abject poverty lies from the people of this country?
“There is hunger in the land, and therefore, anger in the
land, and you are saying people are running to parties? What do you do with the
party?
“Let’s think of the people. That is where the power comes
from. The constitution we are operating is absolutely rubbish. It centers only
on one man in Abuja.
“What has it got to do with my local government here? Look
at Lagos; it has the highest number of local governments. How do you do it?
Revisit the constitution.
“These are things that the upcoming people will think about.
He has run his time and finished.
“I want to express my condolences to his immediate family
members, the good people of Katsina, the good people of Northern Nigeria, and
the whole of Nigeria.
“We will miss him. He always called me a rascal, but we will
miss him.”
