THESE ARE THE WORDS OF YORUBA LEADERS FORUM ABOUT THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE. WHAT DO YOU THINK?... Conference decisions on federal powers, functions, and resources allocation formula shall be by consensus, and the person presiding at a meeting of the National Constitution Conference shall use his best endeavour to see that decisions are made by consensus among those present and forming a quorum at the meeting. Upon failure to arrive at a consensus, any region or group of them that is involved in such disagreement shall have the freedom to exercise its or their Nationality or peoples’ right to self-determination, including opting to secede from or cease to be a part of the Nigerian federation. The democratic principle behind this suggested Conference decision-making modality is, regardless of size, the equality and autonomy of the Regions/Zones/States and the right of each of them to be protected from any form of imposition and domination by other Regions/Zones/States in a matter of Fundamental Rights of the Federating Units and their citizens
