The Senate has ruled out the possibility of a brand new Constitution for Nigeria.
Chairman Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, gave the hint at the National Public Hearing on the review of the constitution in Abuja.
Nigerians and groups, including Afenifere, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Afe Babalola SAN and former Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili have called on the National Assembly to establish a process that would lead to the making of a new Constitution in the country.
The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) had also called for a new Constitution.
But Omo-Agege said while the agitations are germane, the 1999 Constitution (as amended) does not include a clause on how to produce fresh constitution.
