The
founder of the Nigerian Advance Party, NAP, Braithwaite died this morning at St. Nicholas Hospital, Lagos.
He 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
Constitution.
