Chief David Kente, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has called for a Sovereign National Conference (SNC) to address issues affecting the corporate existence of the Nigerian state.
Kente made the call on Friday while speaking with Journalists in Jalingo.
He identified perceived domination of some groups over others as one of the major reason some people were calling for disintegration of Nigeria.
The chieftain said that the SNC should be a most suitable assembly to discuss the national coexistence as well as corporate existence of the Nigerian state.
He advised people calling for disintegration of Nigeria to have a rethink of their agitation, adding that some of the agitators might not survive splitter nations.
Kente, who is one of the commissioners for the North-East Development Commission also suggested the provision of the constitutional roles to the traditional institution to improve the security architecture of the nation.
He noted that lack of constitutional recognition for the traditional rulers had dampened the insecurity situation in Nigeria.
“I will suggest that Sovereign National Conference be organised,to discuss matters bordering on our corporate existence.
” I will advise agitators for Nigerian disintegration to have a rethink and dialogue toward addressing some of the perceived inherent injustice and inequality in Nigeria.
“It is obvious that people feel marginalized in the distribution of appointments and other resources which ordinarily supposed to have been equitable from local,state and federal.
“Our unity is our strengthen and by the time we are decided into smaller nation’s some of the agitators may not even survive the enormous attendant impact of disintegration,” Kente said.
