A legal practitioner and public affairs analyst, Mr Chima Nnaji on Wednesday warned that delegates at the National Conference may argue over issues till the expiration of the conference in three months’ time.
“If care is not taken, we will spend the next three months arguing on procedure” citing the fact that the “seed has been sown ab initio”.
He faulted the bringing together of people from different parts of the country with diverse backgrounds to sit and chart a new cause for the future of the country.
“Many of those people there have no tomorrow in this country” insisting that “they (delegates) have spent their today yesterday; they have nothing to live for” adding that “they can afford to cause confusion” because “they have benefited so tremendously from the sweat and
blood of this country” he said.
Mr Nnaji, expressed doubts of having a good outcome “When you bring a snake, scorpion, human beings, goats, lion and sheep and put them together to have a consensus on the issue of who should be the victim for lunch”. He however agreed that there is an absolute necessity for Nigerians to dialogue as a means of solving some of the fundamental issues that divide citizens.
He further noted that the delegates will argue on what should or should not be and what procedure should be adopted or not, maintaining that, there are some delegates who are not in the conference to contribute to national discourse. He further noted that “they are in their plenitude, they are highly regimented, very rigid in their approach to life generally not only on the issue of the conference”.
