There’s no law backing referendum for confab- Ndoma-Egba

Senate leader Victor Ndoma-Egba (PDP, Cross River central) took time during the launch of his empowerment programme to field questions from newsmen. Excerpts:

Do you agree that the outcome of the National Conference should go through a referendum?
A referendum under which law? Which law in Nigeria provides for a referendum? There is no law.  Those advocate it are saying it should go directly to the people and I have decided not to make any comment on it because who will take it to the people?  How do you determine the people who will receive it?  How do you determine the venue where they will receive it?  How do you determine how they will vote?  How do you determine whether the results of the votes are genuine?  How do you determine all of those issues? When we talk about referendum there is no law providing for referendum and as far as I am concerned the referendum is just wishful thinking because there is no law guiding it.
