Group urges Buhari not to dump conference report
A Civil rights group, the Nigeria Voters Assembly has pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari not to dump the National Conference report
The group in a statement by its president, Moshood Erubami said as a leader that is committed to doing things that will serve the best interest of Nigerians, Buhari should not consign the report of the National Conference into another dustbin of waste in order not to make Nigeria pay for the offence of its few leaders who have refused to organise a truly sovereign National conference.
Rather than dump the report, Erubami urged the president to set up a multi-stakeholder Implementation Committee to streamline the contents and review the final recommendations of the conference.
He said, “the decision not to touch the report of the Conference will not help the country, even if the intention of the messengers is not pure and nationalistic, the good messages and vital recommendations contained therein should be summed up for implementation as it will help a great deal to clear years of rots that has lingered in the country.
“There are abundant recommendations in the reports that are needed for the nation to progress and develop which are beyond the individual preferences, which should be selected for urgent implementation and aligned with the recommendations of the Ahmed Joda led Transition committee set up by the President.”
The group therefore advised that all recommendations and resolutions that require constitutional amendment and enactment of new laws should be forwarded to the National Assembly for necessary actions while urgent policy actions should be taken appropriately at all levels of government.
