Hurray, no more sacred cows

Just at the time we were covering our eyes in shame, the Mantu Committee has come out with the only good thing they will come out with - the Immunity clause has finally been removed, Glory to God in the highest.

Thisday newspaper says :
"The National Assembly Joint Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution (JCCR) yesterday recommended an amendment to Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution by expunging the aspects that forbid investigation and prosecution of the President, his deputy, the governors and their deputies while in office."

This does mean no more disappearing acts like the Bayelsa scenario.

At least we'll celebrate this one first, then we'll think of how to tackle other issues. Congratulations Nigerians home & abroad.
