Obinwannem News Feature article: Do government still have a constitution in Nigeria? Ask yourself

Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State has decried the constant agitation for the amendment to the Nigerian constitution, saying citizens’ attitude was affecting the smooth operation of the document.

Lalong spoke in Jos on Monday at the opening of the 2019 Law Week of the Nigeria Bar Association, Jos branch.

The governor noted that, whereas the American system was based on pure federalism where the federating units enjoy wide autonomy from the Central Government, the Nigerian federalism was pseudo-federal and more of a unitary arrangement in real terms.
