President Goodluck Jonathan had withheld his assent to the amendments to some sections of the document sent to him by the National Assembly.
In a seven-page letter to the Senate President, David Mark, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, the president queried the decision of the National Assembly to whittle down some executive powers of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He faulted some amendments which gives executive powers and duties to the legislature and the judiciary.
Mr. Jonathan explained his position on the amendment and why he declined to sign the document into law.
