The dissenting voices disagreed with the need for the consensus call, but supported the speech.<div>
<br><div>Nnenna herself makes no claim to the content of the speech - these are her words from a message in the thread:</div><div><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div>"I have avoided taking any particular credit about the speech, because I only listened to all those who had a say and summarized their issues. Then I proposed a set of 3 issues per thread and the over arching issue of trust.<br>
