Elder statesman, Dr. Tunji Braithwaite
is dead, aged 82. Dr. Tunji Braithwaite Braithwaite reportedly died on
Monday morning at St. Nicholas Hospital, Lagos. The founder of the
Nigerian Advance Party, NAP was a delegate at the 2014 National
Conference, canvassed for a Confederal Constitution to replace the 1999
Constitution.
He described the 1999 Constitution as
Decree 24 which was presently destroying Nigeria and Nigerians, stressed
that it should be thrown out and be replaced with either a Confederal
constitution, with Nigeria operating con-federalism or a very loose
federation.
Also, Braithwaite disagreed with former
President Goodluck Jonathan on 100 years celebration, saying that the
President got it wrong as Nigeria was only 54 years old, adding that
Nigeria was still work in progress. He said: “Let the word go forth that
there are a number of brave, honest nationalistic persons in this
Conference that, hopefully would be able to reconstruct Nigeria in a way
that the blessings, peace and prosperity rightly deserved by the
peoples of this country would be guaranteed by a New Confederal
Constitutioncredit omojuwa.com
