Food for thought.


SOUTHERN LAWYERS UNAWARE OF THE POLITICS OF SHARIA

Food for thought:-Nigerians of today are faced with the Sharia crisis. But they should note that for whatever reasons,

 thought Southern Lawyers failed to warn their people of the implications. Do the southerners know that it was

the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) headed by the eminent Lawyer,

Chief Rotimi Williams that first translated Murtala's plan into what appeared in the Draft Constitution?

It is a matter of record that the South had eminent lawyers in the leadership of the CDC.

 From the record of the CDC, how many Nigerians realize that in addition to Chief Rotimi Williams,

there were Professor Ben Nwabueze, Chief Richard Akinjide and Chief Bola Ige in the CDC who are concerned about the Sharia today?

 What did they have in mind when they yielded to the pressure and introduced the Sharia at the Federal level into the Draft Constitution in 1977?
