As reported Vanguard, Opadokun said:

“NADECO is more than convinced that a return to the Independence/ Republican Constitution will restore a responsive and responsible government in the minimum as we grapple with the business of reconstructing our country which was successively overran/ damaged for the narrow personal interests of politicians in military uniform since January 15, 1966."

He noted that Nigeria runs a constitution full of loopholes and illegalities that were put together by the military without the consent of Nigerians, Arise TV online reported.

Opadokun said:

“All the many aberrations-political, legal, and structural which the different military dictators whimsically imposed on Nigeria can then be strategically corrected over time."
