A step in the right direction. Kudos! Senator that wants only Biafra of the mind , I sight you

This people will try to hijack this process and make water if down and no significant change will happen. The political class really think the people are playing.... until the conference is run by non state actors, we will always hit a brick wall.... All I see here is the establishment creasing a smokescreen to make restructuring agitators feel something is about to happen when really it’s all motion no movement

elected individuals should take a bow and leave this process to seasoned bureaucrats and civil servants who retired judges, retired parliamentarians and former political office holder who are no veterans, captains of industries, pressure groups and representatives of organized labor, ethnic nationalities and ethnic minority groups to meet and discuss the future of Nigeria - no serving governor, senators and members of the president’s cabinet

If we are to succeed in having a great constitutional amendment aimed at restructuring the country, then these elected individuals should please take a bow and leave this process to seasoned bureaucrats, retired senior civil servants, retired judges, retired parliamentarians and former political office holder who are now veterans, captains of industries, pressure groups, representatives of organized labor, ethnic nationalities, ethnic minority groups to meet without being teleguided by the government - to effectively discuss the future of Nigeria - no serving governor, senators and members of the president’s cabinet should participate because a man who feeds from the devil’s pot can not place blame or give judgement against the devil.... In my own opinion, 95% of our elected politicians at the state and national level are compromised already....

None of them want a shift from the status quo because they want their bread to be continually buttered by the tears and misery of the masses as long as oil money meets their greedy and selfish needs!

I support your suggestions on the category of people that should be represented.

Some of the serving politicians are there for their own selfish interest.

Are UGM invited? If not the meeting is meaningless

See this animal ranting, your idiots Ipop are there burning police stations keeling innocent people

Senator Abaribe has been doing his job.

Thinktwicemybro:
Only abaribe will speak the truth there, the rest are Fulani purpets. We need sanity in this country therefore that military document called 1999 constitution must be trashed away. We must go back to the true dreams of our founding fathers which is true federalism.
Nigeria is dead, children less than 15 now carry guns as bandits. Enough is enough!
