President Buhari Finally Dumps Jonathan's Conference Report

President Muhammadu Buhari will not implement the report of the 2014 National Conference convened by the former President, Goodluck Jonathan.

A top government official confided in PUNCH that Buhari was not favourably disposed to the implementation of the report despite the fact that Jonathan handed over the document to him alongside his handover note.

The source said, “President Buhari never believed in the National Conference. His position is not different from that of his party, the APC, which snubbed the invitation to send representatives to the confab. 

“The conference and its report are Jonathan’s babies and you won’t expect this administration to implement the report, especially in this era that all we have been doing is to try and clear the rot left behind by the same administration.

“The President had not even at any time made any reference to the report. It is not on his agenda.”

Jonathan had, during his handover ceremony on May 28, told Buhari that the confab report was more important than his handover note. He also forwarded the report to the National Assembly for action.

But the Presidency source said Buhari would not implement it because he never believed in the process.

The President would stick to the recommendations of his transition committee led by Ahmed Joda.
