Dialogue Committee apologises to Oshiomhole
(Nigeria) The Presidential Advisory Committee on National Dialogue has
apologized to Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State over the unruly behavior
of one its members, Col Tony Nyiam (rtd) who led some participants at the
conference held in Benin City, Monday, to shout down the Governor when he was
making his presentation.
In a letter by Chairman of the Committee, Senator Femi Okurounmu, he said “the Presidential
Advisory Committee on National Dialogue wants to put it on record that we noted
the sad incident at Monday’s Interactive Session with Nigerians from the South
South held in Benin City, Edo State.
“The Committee wishes to state its unequivocal commitment
and that of its members to the principles of democratic discourse. Although we
take special exception to the unruly conduct of one of our members who joined
the crowd in shouting down the Comrade Governor of Edo State, Adams Aliyu
Oshiomhole, while he was giving his remarks, the session continued and ended
peacefully.”
The Committee continued in the letter dated October 28, 2013
“we want to emphasise that the Committee will listen to all shades of opinions
in the areas of its mandates and will not henceforth condone the kind of
unacceptable behavior we witnessed in Benin City.
“The Committee wishes to express its sincere appreciation to
the government and people of Edo State for providing support to the Committee
in its assignment in the state.”
