The Yoruba socio-cultural group,
Afenifere, says it doubts President Muhammadu Buhari’s favourable disposition
towards implementing the recommendations of the report of the National
Conference organised by the ex-President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
Its leader, Pa Rueben Fasoranti, at
a media briefing in Akure, Ondo State capital, said the conference, which the
All Progressives Congress opposed, formed the blueprint for the common good of
Nigerians.
According to him, “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.”
Advising the president to constitute
his cabinet without further delay, the statesman said: “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.”
