A non-governmental organisation, Nigeria Voters Assembly, yesterday said it will mobilise Nigerians to persuade President Muhammadu Buhari not to dump the National Conference report in order not to throw away the baby along with the bath water.

The group’s President, Comrade Mashood Erubami, in a statement in Ibadan said it is going to do this so that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government will not join the list of Presidents in the country that dumped reports despite the huge resources used to produce such.

He said the group is persuaded to do this because of its belief that President Buhari is committed to doing things that will better serve the best interest of Nigerians, stating that it would prevail on him (Buhari) not to consign the report of the National Conference into another dustbin of waste in order not to make Nigerians pay for the offence of the few leaders who have refused to organise a truly Sovereign National Conference.

He called on the President to instead of dumping the reports, set up a multi-stakeholder Implementation Committee to streamline the contents and review the final recommendations of reports submitted to former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, as a first step to move Nigeria on the path of progressive change and development.

He said, “the decision not to touch the report of the Conferences 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 recommendation, 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," he said.

Erubami stated further 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 agencies policy actions should be taken appropriately at all levels of governments.

"The President and the APC should look at the reports critically and sieve out aspects that would assist the nation to progress as a united entity and consider them for implementation", he said.
