While the president reserves the right to change his mind on any issue, there are two pertinent questions begging for answers. One, is the president not worried that this “national dialogue” which will most likely hold in the first or second quarter of next year could dovetail into the 2015 general election process with all its dire implications at a time our fault-lines are already exposed? Two, what has happened to the reports of all the committees the president has established in the last three years? At the last count, there have been no fewer than 70. From the T.Y. Danjuma committee on the size of government to the Ibrahim Bunu Presidential Projects Assessment Committee to the Nuhu Ribadu Petroleum Revenue Special Task Force to the Steve Oronsaye Committee for the restructuring of MDAs to the Kalu Idika Kalu National Refineries Special Task Force and many others, none of the reports has been implemented. There are also legitimate questions about the real motive of this conference as well as the cost, especially at a time the states and local governments are being denied their statutory allocations from the federation account because the books can no longer balance.- Segun Adeniyi
