Governors of the 19 northern states have expressed their support for the National Conference proposed by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Jonathan had made the announcement in his Independence Day broadcast on Tuesday, by constituting a Committee that will look at the best ways to convoke a National Conference .
Speaking on their behalf, Chairman of the Northern States Governors’ Forum and Governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu said the North was not afraid of the conference.
He stated that the region would go confidently to the conference and discuss matters affecting Nigeria with other Nigerians.
Aliyu at the distribution of 50 Toyota Hiace buses to the 25 local government councils in Niger State under the SURE-P Mass Transit Scheme, in Minna said, “No matter the nature of the dialogue, the bottom line will be what type of Nigeria we want. We welcome this desire for national dialogue,” he said.
Aliyu said the crisis in the PDP was caused by dictatorship in the party, adding that some people were taking advantage of the ongoing impasse for financial gains.
