The National Conference on
Monday adopted 70 per cent majority as the voting mode to be used in arriving
at decisions at the conference.
It was reported over the
weekend on how the 50-member committee selected by the conference chairman,
Idris Kutigi, resolved on 70 per cent. The conference on Monday adopted the
committee’s recommendation.
The adoption followed a motion
by Iyorchia Ayu, representing the Former Senators Forum. It was seconded by
former Akwa Ibom Governor, Victor Attah, representing the Former Governors’
Forum.
The delegates adopted the
resolution at the resumption of plenary in Abuja.
Proceedings at the conference
were stalled last week as delegates failed to reach consensus on whether or not
to adopt 66 per cent (two-third) or 75 per cent majority as the voting mode on
decisions taken at the
conference.
