A former Minster of Petroleum, Professor Tam David-West has stated that those calling for a Sovereign National Conference (SNC) were being ignorant.
According to him, the convocation of the conference would not solve all Nigeria's political problems.
Speaking with Sunday Independent, David-West said "They are talking of ethnic nationalities. Ethnic nationalities is euphemism for tribalism. In Nigeria, we have over 400 ethnic nationalities. How can you say you are calling a Sovereign National Conference of all ethnic nationalities?"
He wondered who would be there, and if whatever decision taken there would bind on every Nigerian.
"How many people will be there? Nigeria's population is about 160 million. How many people will be in the SNC that will decide for us and whatever they say is final. Are they super-Solomon, are they super-human, are they super-wise?"
On the way out of Nigeria's problems: "My solution is this. Let us go into the archives of Nigeria; there are so many reports and recommendations on how we can exist together. We don't need any new conference. We need a body of tested Nigerians that are objective to go into the records. There are volumes of records in our archives," he said.
Exactly. Another excuse by ancient men to "share" money. Anytime someone wants to steal they ask for committees and analyses. Nigeria. Oro pe si je!
