A Yoruba socio cultural pressure group, the Ominira Yoruba Apapo (OYA) has described the proposed national conference as the only antidote to bad governance in Nigeria. OYA national vice chairman, Mr. Rasaq Oladosu, said the national dialogue would save the nation from bad politicians.
"Nigerians must see the confab as their last chance. The planned dialogue remains the last chance for the Nigerian people to determine the kind of nation they want. Nigerians must not listen to those speaking against the planned conference for their own selfish political gains," he said.
Oladosu also noted that the political charade going on against the planned conference was geared towards stopping it. He said: "We have heard enough of lies from politicians pretending to do good for the people.
Now is the time when the people will decide by dialogue how they want to be governed. "The outcome of the conference, once it is subjected to a referendum of the people, cannot be hijacked by politicians," he said. Oladosu however disclosed that the OYA's stand was for Nigeria to practise true fiscal federalism and give autonomy to the regions.
I just believe that all this misgovernance will end very soon in Nigeria. We can't keep living like this
The antidote must come quick because misgovernance is really downgradong this country called Nigeria.
