Lamido likened the issue to smoke from a chimney, explaining that if the smoke is causing problems, the focus should be on its source, not the chimney itself. He stressed that while the constitution provides guidance, it cannot solve all problems by itself. The issue, according to him, is not the constitution but how it is implemented by Nigerians across various sectors.

He questioned the effectiveness of continually drafting new constitutions, asserting that regardless of the constitution’s quality, poor implementation will lead to failure. Lamido highlighted that conflicts within the country, whether regional or local, are more about the operators of the constitution than the constitution itself.

He concluded that the root of Nigeria’s issues lies in the attitude and character of those who enforce the constitution, emphasizing that no constitution is perfect without effective management.
