Southern Nigeria Peoples Assembly, SNPA, have called for the convocation of a Sovereign National Conference, to address the problems militating against the growth and unity of the country.

SNPA in a statement by Chief Edwin Clark, leader of South South; Rev. Bolanle Gbonigi, leader, South West and Chief Mbazulike Amaechi, leader, South East, read by Mr. Ledum Mitee, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, at the meeting of the Assembly, warned against posting of graduates from the Southern part of the country for National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, in the volatile and life-threatening areas of the North.

He said, ‘until the security situation in volatile and life-threatening areas of the country improves, we insist that none of our youths should be posted to serve the compulsory one-year national service in any part of these volatile and life-threatening areas in the North.”

The Assembly called on President Goodluck Jonathan to sack from his government and the nation’s security forces,all persons of dubious loyalty and to treat the activities of Boko Haram sect as treason and apply the relevant laws on the culprits and their sponsors.

It urged the President and other organs of government, especially the judiciary to firmly prosecute the war against corruption without fear or favour, with no sacred cow spared, to serve as a deterrent to other, saying ‘’In particular, government should fast-track the prosecution of all those identified culprits in the probe reports according to law.

“In repositioning the country for the attainment of Vision 20:20:20, the leadership must sanitize the economy of fraudsters and economic saboteurs. ’The six geo-political zone structure should be formalized and reflected in the country’s constitution,” it added.

It deplored the 1999 Constitution as amended, noting that it was standing on a faulty foundation and does not guarantee true federalism required for stability and development of the country.

Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State, represented by his deputy, Mr. Nsima Ekere, condemned insecurity in the country, blaming it on insincerity of some Northern leaders.

i wonder if this is a joke or something.i don't see any common front in the south until the west and east bury their machetes.then we can truly have a southern Nigeria like Arewa consultative forum(ACF) in the north

Bleep the south , Bleep the east, Bleep the igbo. give us oduduwa republic now.
