Why NASS must ratify report – Senators, Reps
They
spoke as mixed views heralded President Goodluck Jonathan’s declaration
that the outcome of the conference would be forwarded to the National
Assembly for consideration.
While some opinion leaders and members
of the National Assembly saw the comments as necessary and in tandem
with legal requirements for the dialogue, others felt that the move
would defeat the aim of the dialogue and amount to waste of scarce and
direly needed resources.
Some
legislators also said the conference amounts to re-inventing the wheel
because it was not different from the constitution amendment exercise
they have embarked upon.
This came as the Presidency is set to
announce the name of an eminent citizen from the South-East as a
replacement for Professor Ben Nwabueze, SAN, in the Presidential
Advisory Committee on National Conference/Dialogue headed by Senator
Femi Okurounmu.
