A legal icon and founder of Afe Babalola University, Ekiti, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) , has written a letter to the Southern Governors Forum (SGF), seeking the governorsâ backing for his proposed convocation of a private summit to discuss all the problems confronting the nation.
Babalola sought the SGFâs backing for the concept tagged: âSummit of Hope,â having passed a resolution urging President Muhammadu Buhari to convene a National Conference to restructure the country despite Presidencyâs foreclosure of such policy.
Babalola in a letter dated May 17, 2021, congratulated the 17 governors from different political parties in the Southern part of the country for rising above partisan politics and for the 12-point resolution raised after their meeting in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
