NINAS Secretariat
September 22, 2023

Here is a Summary of the Practical Mechanism for Activating NINAS Union Reconfiguration Processes to arrest Nigeria’s dangerous drift to anarchy following Nigeria’s Inconclusive 2023 Election.

PURSUANT to the Countrywide Consensus against Nigeria’s Imposed Unitary Constitutional Order, the Five-Point Proposition of the NINAS Notice of Constitutional Force Majeure (CFM) of December 16, 2020, outlines Specific Processes by which Nigeria can ease itself out of the debilitating bind of its Unworkable Unitary Constitutional Arrangements;

As Nigeria wobbles into further uncertainty in the aftermath of the bungled 2023 Presidential Election;

And as anxious inquiries continue to flood into the NINAS Secretariat from the public regarding viable options for rescuing Nigerians and Nigeria from the multiple disasters surging forth from all around the broken-down Union; 

The NINAS Five-Point Proposition, which represents the sequence of Practical Actions by which the Union Reconfiguration Processes can be activated are as follows:

(A) A Formal Acknowledgement of the Union Dispute and the Grave Constitutional Grievances behind the Dispute.

(B) A Formal Commitment to the Wholesale Decommissioning of the 1999 Constitution. 

(C) A Formal Commitment to Suspend Further National Elections under the Disputed 1999 Constitution.

(D) A Formal Initiation of a Time-Bound Transitioning Process to midwife the emergence of Fresh Constitutional Protocols by a Two-Stage Process in which the Constituent Regional Blocs will at the first stage, Distill and Ratify their various Constitutions by Referendums and Plebiscites and in the second stage, Negotiate the Terms of Federating afresh as may be dictated by the outcomes of Referendum and Plebiscites.

(E) A Formal Invitation to the Peoples of the South and middle belt of Nigeria to work out and emplace a Transitional Authority, which shall  specify the Modalities for the Transitioning Process, including the Composition and Mandate of the Transitional Authority as well as the Time-frame for the Transitioning and other Ancillary Matters.

Moderated by experiences from other climes, modified to suit the peculiar circumstances of Nigeria but modeled largely after the Transitioning Arrangements by which South Africa eased itself out of the Apartheid Constitutional Order between 1990 and 1994 (especially the CODESA Union Renegotiation and Reconfiguration Component, which retained on Nominal Basis, Governance Structures  throughout the Transitioning), the NINAS Union Reconfiguration Template which begins with the wholesale Decommissioning of Nigeria’s Unitary Constitution consists of the Two-Stage Process outlined by items (D) and (E) of the NINAS CFM Five-Point Propositions.

In the throes of a Disputed Unitary Constitution and in the face of Nigeria’s Bungled 2023 Presidential Election and growing tensions emanating from the September 6, 2023 Judicial Validation of the Electoral Robbery of February 2023, the NINAS Union Reconfiguration Template offers the Distressed Federation of Nigeria the most Orderly and most Comprehensive Framework for IMMEDIATELY undertaking the Inevitable Renegotiation, Reconfiguration and Reconstruction of its Damaged Constitutional Basis following the 1967 Truncation of the Negotiated Federal Basis of Nigeria. 

Dictated by the Self-Determination Imperative for the Diverse Peoples of Nigeria, the NINAS Union Reconfiguration Template offers outcomes that range from Federation and confederation to the emergence of Units of Independent Sovereign Successor-States, depending on the Degree of Autonomy Opted for by the Various Peoples of Nigeria by way of Referendums. 

The Default Alternative to this orderly Process offered by NINAS Is a Catastrophic Collapse of the Unworkable Unitary Union Defined by Nigeria’s Fraudulent Constitution of 1999.
