Nigeria's People's National Conference Begins Well!

Yesterday, October 1, 2005, in Lagos, the long-awaited PRONACO People's National Conference of Nigeria (PNC) succesfully kicked-off with over a thousand nationalities' and interest groups' delegates, global observers, and international media representatives present, at a grand inaugural ceremony presided over by Nigeria's great elder statesman, Pa Anthony Enahoro, who was ably supported by Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, Arewa leader Yerima Shettima, one-time presidential candidates, Chief Olu Falae & Dr. (Mrs.) Sarah Jibrin, Citizens Forum's Sam Egu, the South-South's Hajia Asari Dokubo (whose husband, Ijaw leader Dokubo is still being extra-judicially detained by the Federal government of Nigeria, for his support for PRONACO and this populist conference which intends to act as the peoples' alternative to the recently stalemated government putative national dialogue on political reforms!) and Chief Ajitse, and a host of other respected youth, civil society, business, humanitarian,and diplomatic arena leaders (including Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu and Ambassador Segun Olusola who were ably represented).

Many goodwill and solidarity messages and memoranda were formally delivered to this august gathering that intends to finally (for the first time in this country's history) fashion a constitution for this nation that will derive its sovereignty from the peoples' will, which will is to be made manifest through the anticipated unfettered, candid, future-looking deliberations by delegates truly representing Nigeria's grassroots and diaspora citizens.

This succesfull inauguration is the first step in a dynamic process which will continue with plenary sessions beginning next month, after the PNC Memoranda-Harmonisation Committee concludes the first phaseof its onerous but worthwhile job of collating and streamlining all the positions of the different interest groups and ethnic nationalities.

This ceremony marks a truly new dawn in Nigeria's march towards her God-destined glory as Africa's giant and leader worldwide.

ALUTA CONTINUA!

Shalom!!!
