The Yoruba socio-cultural group,
Afenifere, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari is not working
towards implementing the recommendations of the report of the National
Conference organised by the immediate past administration of Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan .
The leader of the group, Pa Rueben
Fasoranti, said this in Akure, Ondo State capital, while briefing
journalists on the state of the nation.
Fasoranti, who alleged that Buhari and
most chieftains of the All Progressives Congress opposed the conference,
noted that the only way to restructure the country was for the
government to implement the confab report.
He explained that the conference formed
the blueprint for the future and betterment of the country, noting
however that the group would not keep quiet until the report was
implemented.
The octogenarian said, “The reason we
supported Jonathan, of course, was because he agreed to carry out the
decisions of the National Conference. The present government is not
working towards that and when the time comes, we shall speak again.
Unless we do that, Nigeria will not settle. That is, the recommendations
of the confab.
“Restructuring
and many other things in the recommendations – so much money was spent
on them. And it will be a shame; in fact, it will be a disaster if the
report of the confab is dumped somewhere. I am sure people will continue
to talk until something is done. Although, the APC didn’t like it. The
party didn’t attend but the recommendations formed the blueprint for
future Nigeria.”
On the delay in the appointment of
cabinet members, Fasoranti implored the President to settle down for
proper governance and appoint credible people to work with him.
“I think the President should sit down
and have a package. He is just picking people here and there. He did not
have time to settle down for governance yet and the time is flying.
“Let him constitute his cabinet and start
working. As it is now, Buhari is still behaving like a military
dictator – just picking on people. He should sit down for work. His
cabinet has not met. He is running a one-man show now but let us give
him some time.”
