THERE is nothing in the 2014 National Conference report for President Buhari to implement, Northern Senators has told their southern counterparts.
Chairman, Northern Senators Forum, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, said it is not fair but ridiculous to tell President Buhari to implement the report of the National Conference which he was never part of.
He made the disclore while speaking in Katsina at yesterday Northern Senators retreat in Katsina.
He said: “Some of the agitators for restructuring are urging President Buhari to implement the report of the Jonathan conference because they believe the country’s political and economic future lies dormant now in the report.
“This, I am sorry to say, is a fallacy borne out of ignorance. I can safely bet that those who put their trust in the report have not even read it.
“Although it treats restructuring extensively, it actually fell back on the status quo. It is mealy-mouthed about fiscal federalism. “The conference report is not the open sesame to a restructured Nigeria. The fact that the man who convened it, President Goodluck Jonathan, did not believe in its work effectively sealed its fate.
“It is unfair to ask President Muhammadu Buhari to implement a report to which he was not a party. He was not privy to its underlying philosophy or its primary objectives. Where would he start from?
“We must also interrogate the legitimacy of the conference itself. Was it convened in accordance with the extant laws of the land? Was it intended to usurp the constitutional functions of the National Assembly?’’
