Dear Editor,

I HEAR some folks talk about the Carter agreement and some tradition and norms on the selection of the GECOM chairman. Any arrangements, agreements, compromise, or accords that violate the constitution are illegal. Enough of all forms of unconstitutionalities that have pervaded our system for too long.

The opposition leader has obeyed the constitution. The president has also done what the law requires of him to do. End of story.

What we should expend our collective energies on is devising a better process that will remove the unilateral power from the president, ensure credibility and fairness in the electoral process and push for an amendment.

The constitution is clear. The President reserves the unilateral power to make this appointment, regardless of any list comprising angels, popes or saints.

Deji Aderemi.
