Indigenes
of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), under the aegis of Original
Inhabitants Development Association of Abuja (OIDA) have called on the
federal government to fast-track the nomination of delegates
representing Abuja in the proposed national conference.
This
was contained in a statement signed by the president of the
association, Pastor Danladi Jeji. He said that the convocation of the
conference was an opportunity for all Nigerians, to make known their
grievances.
“The
national conference will give the Abuja indigenous people the
opportunity to bring the issues of their statelessness, marginalisation
and usurpation of their lands without compensation by the Nigerian state
to the limelight,” Pastor Jeji said.
He
further expressed readiness of the association to contribute
meaningfully in finding lasting solutions to some of the burning
national issues.
