Fraud, Corruption,Tribalism @ National Confab Despite the split of delegates over voting rules, a Peoples Democratic Party Chieftain, Dr. Samuel Udonsak, has said that the conference still remains the best possible platform to resolve contentious issues currently affecting the development of Nigeria. Dr. Udonsak, who is a governorship aspirant in Akwa Ibom State, noted that the convocation of the confab by President Goodluck Jonathan was timely and a bold step by the administration towards finding an answer to lingering national challenges. The politician noted that the ability by Nigerians to sit down and talk was an indication that the conference would achieve the purpose for which it was convoked. Udonsak, who is the Chief Medical Director of Onne Medical Centre in Rivers State, said: The ability of Nigerians in their large numbers to converge on a particular place and talk about the future of their country is an indication that success is on the way. I am saying so because in any relationship, sitting down to talk signifies the first step of resolving challenges that can threaten any union, the Eket-born politician said. Udonsak suggested that the delegates should explore the possibility of devolving more powers to the states and local governments so as to reduce the burden of the centre and quicken the development of the other tiers of government. He also appealed to the delegates to play down on individual and regional pursuits but to explore ways and means of appropriating more resources to help bring down tension in the polity and promote national interest at all times. While acknowledging that ethnic interests cannot be ruled out, Udonsak however admonished the delegates to discuss such narrow agenda under the overall framework of the nations interest and commended President Jonathan for convening the talk to fix Nigerias lingering problems. youtube/watch?v=JDGkBZNNB8Q
