Owoeye who made the suggestion on a television programme in Ibadan, expressed the hope that Nigeria will soon find solutions to most of its domestic problems since it is already talking about them, adding that in the past nobody was allowed to talk about them.

He counseled that the outcome of the talk shop should be implemented, as this would help Nigerians build confidence in their nation.

“This is the second time we are having a constitutional conference. Remember the very first constitutional conference was

the one in Aburi. Until tomorrow the decisions that conference was never implemented and until that is implemented we will continue to have conferences upon conferences” he said.

He also commended the federal government for many initiatives it is taking aimed at moving the nation forward.

“Nigeria is going through a lot of reforms now, political reforms, economic reforms in several ways and some of these reforms are achievable and they are being achieved. The only area is that of the structure. It is interesting to know that this is the only government that has been able to put forward reforms without repression”.

On the ability of President Olusegun Obasanjo to achieve the desired goals of the various reforms, Owoeye said the president’s experience as a former Nigerian leader will come to play in taking such decisions.

“Don’t forget that this president that we have is very diplomatic, he has been there before so he knows what he is doing and he is not an outsider.

He knows what he should do. He is feeling the problems like everybody is feeling them. So definitely I have all the confidence that the future of Nigeria vis-à-vis the reaction of government to this problems will be appropriate. I have all confidence in that because the position is, look Nigeria will not disintegrate,” he added.
