Alleged PDP thugs disrupted the
proceedings of the Presidential
Advisory Committee on National
Dialogue/Conference in Benin
City yesterday when they
stopped Governor Adams
Oshiomhole of Edo State and
others from making
contributions to the ongoing
talks. Col Tony Nyiam (rtd), a
member of the committee was
the arrowhead of the disruption
as he shouted down the
Governor while making his
contribution.
The Governor who took the
stage to make his contribution
shortly after the Isoko Ethnic
group had made their
contribution said he objected to
spending huge public funds on a
wasteful venture saying, during
the tenure of President
Olusegun Obasanjo, money was
spent on similar conference and
at the end, nothing positive
came out of that conference.
He said:"I will be surprised if
anything changes. Sincerely, I
have no business to deceive or
mislead anyone. I believe that
the outcome of this conference
will not be different from that of
other conferences we have had
in the past."
But as soon as Governor
Oshiomhole made this
statement, committee member,
Col Nyiam jumped to his feet
and would perhaps have lunged
at the Governor were they close
enough. He was restrained by
other members who were taken
aback by his action. Even while
the Governor was still making
his contribution, Nyiam started
screaming at the top of his voice
for the Governor to shut up and
sit down. He was then joined by
alleged PDP thugs who
disrupted the whole proceedings
and many dashed for safety as a
result of the unruliness of the
committee member and thugs.
The Governor who insisted on
concluding his remarks however
yielded the floor when the thugs
were getting violent and he was
booed out of the venue.
However, the Governor had a
courtesy visit in his office by
members of the Committee led
by Senator Femi Okurounmu, he
insisted he had no faith in the
whole process.
Oshiomhole said:
"...all I owe Nigeria now is to
speak my mind. It could be
error of my head but certainly
not of my heart. As much as I
wish you well, I just want to say
that I have no faith in this
process and I do not think it was
necessary at all. I am unable to
find any basis to give me some
illusion that this exercise will not
be different from the others.
And I honestly think that in
terms of the private sector,
when a country keeps debating
how we can live together that
cannot be one of the basis on
which the outside community
will invest in Nigeria. They may
well wait until we know how we
want to live in Nigeria."
He lamented that 53-years after
independence, Nigerians still
prefer to look at themselves
from their ethnic origin rather
than being Nigerians, saying,
"for me, I am just a Nigerian".
"I do not think that more than
hundred years when we have set
aside billions of naira to
celebrate the centenary
commemorating the
amalgamation of the North and
Southern Nigeria, and we have
lived together as one country for
over a hundred years, and we
have gone through
independence, we have been
free for fifty three years and we
are coming back to ask the
question, how could we be
there. I think Nigeria needs to
address very serious issues.
When I see eminent Nigerians
discussing this issue, I am sure
they know that Nigeria’s
problem is not this politics of
sharing which the national
dialogue is all about, who is
getting what, who has this
natural endowment, who should
do this or not do this. For me
this is the act of perfecting
poverty. The real challenge is
getting Nigeria back to
production. The real challenge is
creating industrial base and this
cannot be resolved through
conferences. We have moved
from parliamentary system in
our own wisdom to the
presidential system. We have
test-run it and it was aborted by
the military and it has re-
incarnated in the present form.
Nigeria does need a serious
reflection about how to return
to those core values that made
Nigeria work before. Those
healthy competition between the
governments, visit the whole
question of attitude and unless
that changes, I do not see how
any dialogue can work." he said.
The Governor noted "I was
discussing with somebody last
week and he noted that this is
the eleventh conference and I
ask what ten conferences could
not do, how would the eleventh
one do it? Why do we think we
can continue doing the same
thing the same old way and
think that this time the outcome
would be different?"
The Governor said nobody
convenes a meeting without
stating an agenda and asking
others to draw up an agenda for
that meeting adding "from
conception we know we want to
talk but we do not know what
we want to talk about."
Earlier the Chairman of the
Presidential Advisory Committee
on National Dialogue/
Conference, Senator Femi
Okurounmu said they were in
Benin as part of their visits to
the six geo political zones to get
their input as regards the
content of the agenda, the
duration, choice of delegation
and legal framework.
