President Muhammadu Buhari will not implement the report of the 2014 National Conference convened by former President Goodluck Jonathan, The Punch has learnt.
A top government official confided in Punch correspondent on Tuesday 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 (Jonathan’s) handover note.
Jonathan had, during his handover ceremony on May 28, told Buhari that the confab report was more important than his handover note.
Before leaving office, the former President had also forwarded the report to the National Assembly for action.
But the Presidency source told one of Punch correspondents that Buhari would not implement it because he never believed in the conference.
Rather, he said the President would stick to the recommendations of his transition committee led by Ahmed Joda.
The source also recalled that the ruling All Progressives Congress did not take part in the conference despite the fact that its leadership was formally asked to send representatives.
