The governor of Kano state, Musa Kwankwaso, has kicked against the proposed national conference and noted that the conference will only amount to a waste of time and resources, even as many Nigerians applauded the national conference initiative as announced by the president.

During a media chat in Hausa, broadcast live on some radio stations in Kano, northwest Nigeria, governor Kwankwaso also explained that the conference is not only unconstitutional but would create disunity among Nigerians.

He pointed out that members of the two chambers have the constitutional mandate to deliberate on national issues and take action accordingly.

It will be recalled that the Senate President David Mark threw his support for the proposed national conference after the President’s Independence day broadcast,where the he stated that an advisory committee will be set up for the conference where sensitive national issues will be addressed.
