The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF)
has expressed doubt that the three months duration prescribed for the
conference would be enough for a robust and proper deliberation on the problems
facing Nigeria.
Its National Publicity Secretary, Mr.
Anthony Sani, said in a statement on Friday in Kaduna that although ACF does
not believe that the solution to the nation’s malaise lies with the National
Conference, “as long as they say it is possible for the National Conference to
further the cause of a united Nigeria, there should be no qualm.”
The statement further reads “Let the
deliberations in the conference calm people’s nerves. But we wonder whether the
three months will be enough for thorough and robust deliberations needed for
(achieving) the desired result.
“In any case, let the nominees be
Nigeria’s first 11 who are endowed with not only public intelligence but also
with patriotic courage.”
