House of Senate says YES to Jonathan on national conference
« on: October 02, 2013, 09:35:00 PM »
THE Senate on Wednesday declared its support for National Conference as proposed by President Goodluck Jonathan in his Independence Day national broadcast on Tuesday.

   Speaking through its Chairman, Committee on Information, Media and Public Affairs, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, the Senate expressed optimism that since the proposed conference is aimed at protecting sovereignty of Nigeria, it was therefore in line with the Senate's position as earlier enunciated by the President of the Senate, David Mark.

   "It is therefore given that the proposed conference is in tandem with the time tested stand of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and as enunciated by the President of the Senate, Senator David A. B Mark in his address at the last Nigerian Bar Association Conference in Calabar and to Senators penultimate week.

   "The senate has always canvassed the position that it will always welcome a conference where all ethnic nationalities would converge to discuss all critical issues and proffer the very best way that will enhance national unity.

   "The Senate red-line and for which was aptly factored in the President's broadcast is the conferment of a sovereign status to the conference", Abaribe said.
