NINAS Secretariat

Let us Please Note that the NINAS Campaign is not necessarily for the writing of “a New Constitution”. 

For the avoidance of doubt, the NINAS Campaign is first about the Decommissioning and Dismantling of the Imposed Unitary Constitution of Nigeria in order to Terminate the Toxic and Unworkable Master-Servant Union anchored upon that Unitary Constitution, and to Compel an Immediate Renegotiation of the Union in a manner that Restores the Sovereignty of the Constituent Peoples of Nigeria who may, in Unfettered Self-Determination, AGREE to form a Fresh Union (as a Federation or Confederation), OR default into an Immediate Dissolution of the Failed Unitary Union, in a manner that will result in the Emergence of Independent Units of Successor-Sovereign State Entities.

The Reason for this Clarification is that if the NINAS Campaign is presented simply as one for the making of a New Constitution, that might be interpreted by some to mean that NINAS holds the Nigerian Union sacrosanct and is merely seeking the replacement of Nigeria’s Faulty Constitution.

Put differently, the NINAS Campaign as encapsulated in the Five-Point Proposition of the December 16, 2020 Constitutional Force Majeure Proclamation is for a Comprehensive Union Renegotiation, Reconfiguration and Reconstruction, in a Process that could result in a proper Federation, a Confederation, or the emergence of Independent Units of Successor-Sovereign State Entities (New Countries) from the ruins of the Defunct Federation of Nigeria.
