WEEK 14: THE 1999 CONSTITUTION – A SECOND CHANCE (OR MORE OF THE SAME?) The 1999 Constitution was never made by the people. It was a military decree—cloned from 1979 and handed down by a departing regime. Twenty-five years later, we are still living with the consequences. What if Nigeria had adopted a people-made constitution in 1999 instead of a military-imposed one? What if the Abacha draft—with its rotation of power, single terms, and no immunity clause—had survived? Week 14 of the Speculative Repair Circle asks: Was the 1999 Constitution a second chance—or more of the same? #SpeculativeRepair #Nigeria #Constitution #1999Constitution #Restructuring
