MAKURDI – As Nigerians express divergent views on the possible
implementation of the recommendations of the last National Conference, former
Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav has urged President
Mohammadu Buhari to discard the report.
He said the report of the conference
could not be perceived to be the genuine wishes and aspirations of all segments
of the country and Nigerians in general.
Tsav who spoke in Makurdi faulted the
procedure adopted in the selection of those who attended the conference
maintaining that the process was skewed from the onset. According to him,
“People clamoured for a National Conference during the last administration and
the then President Goodluck Jonathan inaugurated one, but what we had did was
not a national conference.
“President Jonathan to a large extent hand picked
and selected the people he was comfortable with and those were the people who
attended the conference. We cannot in all sincerity describe what we had then as
a collection of the people’s representatives.
“Right from day one, we
criticised the composition of the conference. Jonathan selected people he
wanted and they went there to discuss what was favorable to him. “Common logic
tells us that in such circumstance when you select people of your choice to
attend a conference they are certainly bound to discuss and come out with
recommendations that would suit your purpose.
