USA Africa Dialogue Series - RE: In Search of Political Stability and Survival: Toward Nigeria's Third republic

Chief Ike:

 

I too second your brief but wonderful words about Brother John Mukum Mbaku's wonderful analysis and radical suggestions. But is Nigeria shooting toward a Third republic of more?

 

After tomorrow's "frightening" elections in Nigeria, the country's leaders should please invite solid Lawyers and other top Scholars of Brother John's caliber to go to Abuja to team up with the Falanas, Ireles, Alukos, Ejigiris, Falolas, Obanyas (PAI) and others to revisit the country's constitution in order to do away what Brother John described below as being dysfunctional and anachronistic laws, indeed! The days of the Eliases (T.O.), Awos and other old-time legal elites are gone in Nigeria, but we still need newer and tougher brains for the job! No more recycling of ideas!

 

Bravo, Brother John Mukum Mbaku! You have always put your brains in excellent use for Mother Africa and her citizenry.

 

A.B. Assensoh.

Brother John,

We must continue with the struggle to make a great country even greater. This,
in my judgment, is a commitment we must make to this country and Africa
regardless of whether we are to the left or right of the ideological spectrum.
At least, we owe it to our children and children's children!

Thanks for your kind words.

Ike Udogu
