Speaking on Saturday during the Constitution Review Public Hearing in Owerri—the centre hosting submissions from Imo and Abia States—Kalu underscored the critical role of citizens in shaping the country’s constitutional future.

The public hearing forms part of nationwide efforts to review and amend the 1999 Constitution, allowing stakeholders and ordinary citizens alike to submit ideas, petitions, and proposals that will help reposition Nigeria.

Kalu, who chairs the House Committee on Constitution Review, reminded participants that constitutional reform is an ongoing process rather than a one‑off event, stressing the need for sustained public engagement to ensure that adopted reforms are faithfully implemented.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Levinus Nwabughiogu, Kalu said:

“I urge you to hold us accountable. Ask the tough questions. Demand transparency. Insist on fairness. The future of our democracy depends on it.

Today, I make a heartfelt appeal to every son and daughter of Abia and Imo: this is your Constitution, your moment. You are not just observers—you are stakeholders and co‑authors of Nigeria’s next chapter. Do not hold back your ideas, your criticisms, or your aspirations.”

He emphasized that every memorandum, petition, and passionate submission would help shape the amendments that will go before the National Assembly, the President, and ultimately the Nigerian people:

“The strength of our democracy lies not in lawmakers’ pronouncements alone, but in the active participation of the people. Let us produce not just a legal document, but a social contract that reflects the hopes and values of all Nigerians.”

Kalu reminded attendees that the review process involves several stages—debates in plenary, harmonisation with the Senate, and eventual transmission to State Houses of Assembly—urging them to remain vigilant and engaged to ensure the final outcome truly serves the people.

“Nigeria’s greatness lies in its ability to have difficult conversations, to listen, to debate, and to find common ground,” he said.
“To the people of Abia and Imo: your ideas matter. Your voices matter. Your future matters. Let us rise above division, embrace our shared destiny, and build a Nigeria where justice, equity, and progress are not just ideals, but everyday realities.”

He revealed that the committee is currently considering 87 prioritised amendment bills, each addressing critical national issues, and encouraged the people of Abia and Imo to make meaningful contributions, particularly on matters that affect them directly.

Kalu also commended President Bola Tinubu for his support in driving constitutional reform and strengthening Nigeria’s institutions:

“I must acknowledge the visionary leadership of His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, GCFR. Under his stewardship, Nigeria has embraced a reform‑heavy agenda—one that recognises the urgent need for constitutional renewal, institutional strengthening, and inclusive growth. His commitment to the rule of law and his respect for the legislature’s constitutional role have created an enabling environment for this historic review. We are grateful for his support and leadership.”

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Published

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
