The Patriots Unveil National Constitutional Summit Agenda in Abuja

Several global and national constitutional issues are currently under active discussion and debate. In Nigeria, The Patriots, a pan-Nigerian group led by Chief Emeka Anyaoku, is organizing a national conference to develop an acceptable constitutional framework, with topics covering democratic procedures, government systems, and tenure for elected officials. Meanwhile, in the United States, concerns about a constitutional crisis are rising, highlighted by critiques of former President Trump's extensive use of executive orders and alleged disregard for constitutional checks and balances. A National Constitution Center panel debated the meaning and enforcement of the U.S. Constitution, emphasizing the importance of full enforcement over fundamental reform. In Greece, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has reignited debate over constitutional reforms focused on civil service tenure and other key articles, seeking supermajority support in Parliament amid opposition skepticism. Separately, the U.S. faces challenges regulating AI and deepfake technology, with proposed federal moratoriums on state-level AI laws raising concerns amid rapidly increasing deepfake fraud and limited legislative responses.
