He noted that the conference had produced three serving governors, in Adamawa, Delta and Ebonyi.

He said, “We have also produced many deputy governors, senators, while many are in the House of Representatives and many others holding important positions in the country. So, the conference is not a joke, and we are not intimidating people. It is a body put together with members who have served in the states. We have some experience to share for the purpose of the development of this country.’’.
