Coalition canvasses new Nigerian constitution

ENUGU—AN emerging new generation of leaders in Nigeria have called for a new constitution to replace the current one which it described as “a fraud”.

The group, under the aegis of the Coalition of Nations and Organisations in Nigeria, CONON, comprising leaders from the Middle Belt, Niger Delta and South East, also resolved to sustain the battle by the late Biafran leader and Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, for a Nigeria where all ethnic groups were treated with respect and equal opportunity to express themselves politically and economically.
