Buhari will not implement Jonathan’s 2015 National Conference reports – Presidency

The Presidency has once again stated that it would not consider the 2014 Confab report, despite calls from many quarters that the recommendations in the conference be considered and implemented.

Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari, Garba Shehu, made the statement when he appeared on Channels Television’s programme on Nigeria’s 57th Independence anniversary celebrations.

According to Shehu, “It was not an inclusive conference. You very well recall that the leaders of our own party – whether ACN and all of that and the governors were missing from that conference.

"To make matters worse, the confab was heavily criticised but the Goodluck Jonathan administration went on with it. This (the confab) was lopsided in terms of representation, ethnically, religiously, regionally; and they were insensitive to all of these things and then they want to force it down the throats of everyone. That is why it’s a problem.”

During his Independent Day speech, President Buhari had told Nigerians to channel their grievances to the National Assembly which it said had the constitutional backing to address such concerns.

Shehu added, “The members of the National Assembly are not aliens and they don’t come from the moon. They are Nigerians and they are representing definite constituencies in some of the states.

“So, they are serving the purpose of representation. Why can’t they be trusted?”

The Presidential aide suggested that those behind the agitation in the country were those who had failed the nation in the past.

“It is not like I have no respect for older people. But there are people who think that they have messed up this country so much that they now want to resolve the problems that they created and they are in a hurry to do that.”
