On Monday, during the inauguration of the delegates for the National Conference, President Goodluck Jonathan declared that he had no personal agenda in convening the National conference.
The President also said that delegates at the conference are neither usurping the role of the National Assembly nor the Executive, but rather complementing the efforts of the two arms of government in their march towards a greater and stronger union.
"The National Conference is therefore being convened to engage in intense introspection about the political and socio-economic challenges confronting our nation and to chart the best and most acceptable way for the resolution of such challenges in the collective interest of all the constituent parts of our fatherland.
"This coming together under one roof to confer and build a fresh national consensus for the amicable resolution of issues that still cause friction amongst our people must be seen as an essential part of the process of building a more united, stronger and progressive nation. We cannot continue to fold our arms and assume that things will straighten themselves out in due course, instead of taking practical steps to overcome impediments on our path to true nationhood, rapid development and national prosperity.
"Let me repeat what I have been saying that Goodluck Jonathan has no personal agenda in convening this national conference.
Meanwhile, although the All Progressives Congress, APC said it would boycott Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state was present at the inauguration of delegates and even posed for some pictures.
