Charles Udeogaranya, former All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant, has described President Bola Tinubu’s representation at the Arab-Islamic Summit as a gross violation of the Nigerian Constitution.
According to Vanguard, Udeogaranya argued that Nigeria is a secular state, asserting that Tinubu has committed an impeachable offense.
According to him, the President swore to uphold the constitution, emphasizing that Nigeria is neither an Arab nation nor an Islamic nation.
“To, therefore, unilaterally drag Nigeria into Arab and Islamic nation’s affairs is a grievous disparaging of the Nigerian people and its Constitution,” Udeogaranya said.
He further pointed out that Nigeria is predominantly a Christian nation by religion.
The former presidential candidate underscored that such blatant disrespect and disregard for Nigeria’s true position on the international stage is most regrettable.
He advised the National Assembly to caution the President to avoid such actions, emphasizing that most Nigerians are Christians and that Nigerians firmly support Israel in all international matters.
When I saw the news, I was baffled and I know that so many Nigerians are also as baffled as I was. Impunity abound in Nigeria 🇳🇬 system of governance simply because people are not speaking. It would be better to make Nigeria into regional states so that every region would make their own law and abide by it instead of this system wherein Nigerians doesn’t know whether they are circular or not. Yes, Nigeria 🇳🇬 is circular, but only on ink and paper. The reality is practically a different kettle of fish. Why?
