Translate Constitution to Local Languages, National Assembly Urged
Pastor of the Holy Ghost Harvest Church Ilorin, Rev. Yinka Adedokun , has urged the National Assembly Constitution Review Committee to ensure that the new constitution is translated into three Nigerian major languages.
Adedokun told stated this on Monday while speaking on the on- going constitution review process. He said that translation of the constitution into local languages would promote national unity.
He said, "It is expedient for us as a country to realise that there is a need to have our constitution translated into our local languages. The constitution review committees should ensure that the new constitution for the country is translated into three major languages of Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo in order to foster national unity and cohesion.
"The translation into local languages will also give the people of the country a sense of belonging, while copies of the constitution should be made available to people as it is done in advance countries."
Adedokun also urged the political leaders in the country to live up to their promises and display exemplary leadership that would restore people's confidence in government. He said that assumption of political office was ordained by God, adding that the deeds of the leaders should be aimed at elevating God and bringing succour to the people.
"Leaders must see their ascension to office as the Grace of God and as such must provide the people with good governance that will better their lots," he said and urged Nigerians to pray for the peace of the nation as well as live harmoniously irrespective of their religious and ethnic differences.
