By what criteria, in all honesty, can delegates of Ebonyi State origin be more than the delegates from either Kano or Lagos State, the two most populous states in Nigeria? About 10 per cent of all the delegates are Ijaw but there is no single Itsekiri or Ogoni delegate in the JNC! With all the current nomad conflicts all over the country, there is no single delegate from the cattle breeders. The Tiv, one of the ethnic groups with spread in more than three states, is having only one delegate. Ngas, one of the most dynamic ethnic groups in Nigeria and the tribe of one of our respected leaders, Gen. Gowon, has not even a single delegate. Women have less than 20 per cent of the JNC delegates. Abba Mahmood
