The rush by delegates to attend the marriage ceremony of a daughter of
President Goodluck Jonathan raised unease among some delegates who
frowned that conferees abandoned national issues for socializing.
About half of the delegates abandoned proceedings Thursday to enable
them travel to attend the wedding coming up, Saturday, March 5, 2014
in Bayelsa State.
When the conference chairman, Justice Idris Kutigi called for
contributions to the debate of the President’s speech, many of the
delegates were not around as their seats were empty.
