He said this while holding a press conference in Ado Ekiti where he reiterated his position that none of the candidates in the 2023 election can save Nigeria from total collapse until the country has a new constitution.
Babalola's statement reads in part:
"I still stand by my suggestion that any election conducted under the 1999 Constitution cannot and will not produce new leaders with new ideas. Rather, any election conducted under the 1999 Constitution will merely result in recycling the same people who have brought Nigeria to grinding poverty, unemployment, underfunded education, insecurity and huge external debt.
