Making presentation to the Nation Confernce Advisory committee

Here is my response to the suggestion by Bar Friday Ojealaro that Edo Political Forum should harness the positions of the Edos for the National conference Advisory Committee....I am all for Bar Friday Ojealaro's suggestion and we should do it within the next few days. The position of the State Governor has already started affecting and molding the response of the people and Edo State towards the conference. For example on the day of the conference, Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta States government sent down their protocol officers to secure seats for their states delegates and indicated their interest to speak because they were ready. So when the conference commenced those other states took prominet positions in the hall. Also when the Chairman started calling people to come and make recommendations it became Bayelsa, Delta States over and over again, the people of Edo had to protest verbally before the Chiarman skipped to call Benin Forum. My point is that if we want Edo State peple to be heard we must take the bull by the horn. The other thing I observed was that the people that came to represent their various states were old men in their 70's. Men who should be in retirement, men who were nervous and uncoordinated. I was force to ask the man who represented the Isoko nation, where is your  lawyer son who has been practicing for 18 years? What makes you think you can better represent your people than your son? He was just smiling, foolish and greedy generation.
