He said at the 41th National Convention, the leadership and members of the movement will be meeting other well-meaning individuals, to dialogue on ways to sustain and improve Nigeria’s democracy.
“Other issues, like extra judicial killings, citing the case of Mr. Kolade Johnson who was recently shot dead by a policeman and the killings in Zamfara, will also be discussed at the convention,” he stated.
According to him, events scheduled to hold are sports and cultural displays to promote Africa’s beauty and values. A blueprint on global democratic best practice would be publish and disseminate at the end of the programme.
