Prof-Ben-nwabueze03Professor of Law Ben Nwabueze (SAN) yesterday hoped that President Goodluck Jonathan’s proposed National Conference will be a success, despite all odds.

 

The legal icon addressed reporters in Lagos ahead of the Goody Jidenma Foundation (GJF) public lecture, which will hold on November 12 at the Nigerian Institute of Internal Affairs (NIIA).

He said Nigerians should not discredit the conference because of the failure of previous ones.

According to him, Nigerians needs to support the conference to elevate it beyond a talk shop.

On why he declined to be a member of the advisory committee, Nwabueze said he believed it was a job for younger people and not an old man like him with health challenges.

He said: “My main purpose, as leader of the patriots and Project Nigeria, was getting the President to set up a confab or take the initial steps necessary. I am glad it was achieved because, after our meeting, he accepted our 30-paragraph recommendation.

“That purpose, having been achieved, I did not expect to be a part of the advisory committee, because I feel it is a job for younger people and not an old man of 83 years.

“The President told me he would set up a committee and gave the impression that the Patriots would nominate a member. While I was in London on medicals, I read in the news that I was a member of the committee.

“Knowing that I would not be in the country by the time, I promptly congratulated the President on the move and, not wanting to be a part of it, I nominated a candidate.

“Although my candidate was not dropped, I believe the committee has competent men.”
