PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan on Monday inaugurated the National Conference with a promise that the outcome of the conference might be subjected to a referendum.
Addressing the 492 delegates to the Justice Idris Kutigi-led National Conference in Abuja, the President said, “Let me at this point thank the National Assembly for introducing the provision for a referendum in the proposed amendment of the Constitution.
“This should be relevant for this Conference if at the end of the deliberations, the need for a referendum arises.”
An elated Jonathan described the inauguration as “the dawn of a new era,” saying he had no personal agenda in convening the talks.
