Stop planned national dialogue -CNPP

The Conference of Nigerian Political Parties has called on President of the Senate, David Mark, to come to President Goodluck Jonathan’s rescue and stop the proposed national conference.
It made this call on Sunday, saying in a statement that the proposed conference, from all intents and purposes, “is diversionary, a bridge to no-where and which might be hijacked by ethnic merchants.”
The statement was signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, and made available to our correspondent in Enugu.
The CNPP said that the desires of Nigerians would not be achieved by the proposed conference, “as ethnic merchants dominate the 13-man Prep-Committee and its intendment is not sovereign.”
The statement read in parts, “For the avoidance of doubt, Nigeria has never since after the civil war been as divided as now; we are in no doubt at tipping-point of frustration and rudderless leadership.
“However, the solution to pervasive corruption, crass inequality, gross unemployment and mass poverty is not a conference bridge to no-where.”
