A Socio-cultural group in the Southsouth, Ikwerre Peoples Congress has called for a total scrap of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, saying, the document does not have the peoples consent.
The group also argued that the National Assembly which is currently conducting public hearings across the six geopolitical zones of the country lacked powers to draft a Constitution on behalf of the people.
The position of the group was made known in a memorandum submitted to the Constitution Review Committee, sitting in Port-Harcourt on Thursday and obtained by DAILY POST.
The group claimed the 1999 Constitution was originally a military decree.
