The debate on President Goodluck Jonathan's speech during the inaugural address to the National Conference continued Tuesday, as delegates reflected on the state of the nation and a blame game ensued when a former Minister of Defence and Chief of Army Staff, General Alani Akinrinade said that the military had no apology to offer for being in government.

He also accused the Nigerian elite of aiding the military in their venture into governance and was involved in drafting the constitution that the delegates are condemning.

In the same vein, former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Chief Richard Akinjide said Nigeria as a sovereign entity had come to stay, urging the delegates to be agents of constructing a new Nigeria rather than being demolition agents.
