Respected Constitutional Lawyer,Prof.Itse Sagay has described APC's decision not to be part of the National Conference as not only unreasonable,but also childish.The lawyer expressed his total dissappointment at this decision by a party that has been parading itself as one out to rescue the nation.He said, “APC’s decision to boycott the conference is the most unrealistic, unreasonable and childish thing I can ever imagine, considering the fact that the Yoruba are the progenitors of true federalism. Awolowo was a person who articulated that point most in the whole country, and wrote books about it.
“He plotted the way forward, the Awo
Road, which the whole of the West and the Yoruba have followed and which
the rest of us have come to imbibe. They have educated us; they are the
ones who opened our eyes to the possibilities of true federalism and
that it is the only way for the country to develop. That is why I am so
disappointed.”
Most worrisome to me is the fact that APC Leader Bola Tinubu has been one man who consistently in the past never failed to remind Nigerians of the need for a National Conference.Perhaps,if the conference was convoked by an APC government,they would have gladly attended,but since it is President Jonathan,then no,the party will not be part of it,how laughable.Nigerians should take note.
