“Aside from His Excellency, Otunba Gbenga Daniel as the keynote speaker, OGD, the other important personality on our guests list includes a revered minister of the gospel, Arch-Bishop Isaac Idahosa, who also the vice presidential candidate of the NNPP,” Ifetayo said.
The chairman also revealed that other outstanding Nigerians also lined up as confirmed panelists expected in order to have a robust discussion include Dr. Cynthia Greg, Dr. Pearl Chidinma Ogbulu, Erelu Okin, the Commandant-General, Nigeria Security And Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, the chairman of House Committee on Education at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Sanni Ganiyu Babatunde Okanlawon and the general manager of the Lagos State Transport Management Authority, Bolaji Oreagba.
Others are the editor of BusinessDay newspaper, Zebulon Agomuo, former commissioner of Information in Edo State Prince Kassim Afegbua, the chairmen of Bariga Local Council Development Area and Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area respectively, Alabi Kolade David and Prince Usman Akanbi Hamzat.
Ifetayo, therefore, called on media practitioners and the general public to be part of the history making event.
“We are hereby using this opportunity to invite the general public, particularly our colleagues in the media to join us on this national discourse. It is completely free.
“The issue of security concerns everyone, there is no way we can have a successful election if our security system is not looked into collectively. Electioneering matters is not just for politicians alone; we are all involved one way or the other.
“And as the 2023 election approaches, the people depend on the media for information. So come and let’s talk Nigeria,” the chairman concluded.
