‘National Confab ‘ll Resolve Issues’

A former Chairman of
Ogbia Local Government Council of Bayelsa State and a stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Innocent Kaku, has charged the people of the Niger Delta region to use the opportunity offered by the national conference to resolve issues affecting the area.
Chief Kaku stated this in an interview with newsmen at the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, shortly on arrival from Abuja.
He noted that the conference was like a town hall meeting, where opinions would be freely expressed,  problems of different dimensions would be addressed and resolutions adopted to enable the country forge ahead in a more coherent manner.
Chief Kaku advised all Nigerians to avail themselves of the avenue created by President Goodluck Jonathan to participate in the conference by making their contributions directly or through their reprsentatives.
“People should stop complaining of time, lack of adequate representation and focus discussion on issues affecting us because not all of us will go there; someone must represent and speak for us”, he said.
The former local government boss lauded the President for the courage in taking a bold step to convocate the conference and ensure that the yearnings of Nigerians were met.
He condemned those that criticized former President Olusegun Obasanjo for coming to commission projects in Rivers State, insisting that anybody can be called upon to commission projects and that Obasanjo came as a friend to Governor Amaechi to come and witness what he has done.
“There is nothing absolutely wrong with a personality like former president to come and visit his son to see his projects”, Chief Kaku said.
On his next step as a politician, the PDP stalwart declared, “my ambition for now is to ensure that President Jonathan emerges victorious in the 2015 election, we are working for the re-election and that is my interest for now, after that, whatever comes my way, I will take”.
