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?
