Yar’Adua Canvasses Removal Of immunity Clause From Nigeria
Constitution
By Oludare Fase
Published: January 25, 2007

PRESIDENT Umaru Yar’Adua has canvassed for the removal of the immunity clause
from the 1999 constitution of Nigeria.

President Yar’Adua said this on Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos,
Switzerland.

Yar’adua said “I have confidence that the next constitutional amendment will strip
these public officials of this immunity and I am personally in support of that. We now
have a situation in which people award contracts without caring whether they have
enough money to complete the project and because of this, there are lots of abandoned
projects all over the country, in fact some going into billions of dollars. This is the kind
of disrespect for established regulations and procedures that feeds corruption.

He continued ‘Our decision to fight corruption properly and have respect for law,
order and due process will now make such acts of omission or commission punishable
by law, and that will clean the system and make sure that whatever business dealings
government enters into, we have the ability to abide by the covenant we signed.

The immunity clause prevents the arrest and prosecution of the serving president, vice
president and governors and their deputies.
