Commenting, a member of All Progressives Congress, Comrade Azuka Odanike said his invitation to the meeting was evidence that the body was not politically controlled by the state government or Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as against speculations of people that CONPA is working for PDP.
Azuka Odanike encouraged the body to be technical and proactive while addressing some issues, urging them to always find out the root cause of disputes before wading into it for resolutions.
He explained that sometimes, it would take doggedness and ruggedness for the body to attain her objectives. He added that CONPA must be detached from partisan politics for its dreams to come through.
