A member of the Nigerian delegation to the 5th Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Parliament, Awaji-Inombek Abiante Dagomie has said for democracy to be strengthened there is the need to speak truth to power and the quality of the resource persons made available at the just ended seminar and Extraordinary Session has been fantastic.
In commending the Liberian delegation for a well-organised programme, he pointed out in an interview that most of the resource persons spoke the truth on the political situation the West African sub-region is experiencing.
“Most of them spoke on issues that our ears wanted to hear the hard truth, their presentation were well researched and better equipped us for tomorrow. But if and only if we as MPs would be able to stand to what they have been able to expose us to and teach us”.
He underscored the need for the Community lawmakers to transfer same to their various governments, within the sub-regional member states.
On participation of his colleagues, he noted it was very good but can be better as some lawmakers who were preparing for parliamentary elections in their countries could not show up in Liberia.
