It will be recalled that only three eminent persona attended the summit from the South west while former Governor of old Rivers state,Alfred Diette Spiff, represented the south south since the chief Edwin Clarks, pandef and the Ohaneze Ndigbo from south east all backed out due to invitation of Miyetti Allah, a trade association to the summit.
Besides,no known traditional ruler from the South West was also at the summit attended by mostly retired generals like Alani Akinrinade,Isola Williams and Professor Bolaji Akinyemi.
