In a statement released by the group’s spokesman, Mr. Olawale Okunniyi, it said it would adopt the 2007 Peoples’ Draft Constitution as its confab proposal.
“PRONACO would not like to watch the country slide into a major civil strife before invoking its standing mandate to intervene in the worrisome political tension and ethnic acrimony currently embattling the country’s political space owing to contentions over the constitutional structure of Nigeria.
“The proposed confab is expected to be composed of delegates and elective representation from territorial social movements, ethnic nationality groups, political parties, labour centres, the private sector, professional bodies, youth and women groups as well as government agencies, which shall be attending in advisory capacity to join other voting delegates to consider both the 2007 PRONACO’s Peoples Constitution, as well as the Nigerian 1963 Constitution, adopted as confab proposal,” the PRONACO statement read in part.
PRONACO is a pan-Nigerian movement initiated under the leadership of the late Chief Anthony Enahoro and the Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka.
Meanwhile, members of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), the group of pro-democracy activists who fought the bitter war for the entrenchment of democracy during military dictatorship, at a meeting attended by prominent NADECO chieftains like Dr. Amos Akingba, Chiefs Ayo Opadokun and Ayo Adebanjo, in Lagos, sought a return to the 1963 Constitution.
