The constitution of a country is the Bible of that country. And its sanctity must be protected.”

Amaechi further lamented that the president’s actions were a clear example of governance by whims and caprices, rather than by law.

“For a governor or a president, who subscribes to such a concept, it is what he or she does that is law. It is not what is in the book that is law,” he added.

The former Rivers State governor also expressed disappointment over the National Assembly’s inaction, saying: “Like the current pronouncement of an illegal and unconstitutional state of emergency in Rivers State aided by weak institutions like the National Assembly, which is very weak.”
