Jonathan recalls how the PDP crisis prevented the implementation of public places in 2014.
Nigeria News Nalin Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan reportedly revealed that his government was unable to implement the 2014 recognized report he established due to the crisis within the party.
Jonathan was accompanied by former Sierra Leone president Ernest Bai Koroma, former PDP chief Bode Bode, deputy deputy state chairman, who revealed this in Lagos when he visited the Ayo Adebanjo family, Afenifere leader in Lagos (Lekki Stage 1, Lagos).
He said the parish was summoned because of upright people like Chief Adebanjo.
Jonathan said he would love to execute Confab’s advice before taking office in 2015, but his party crisis prevented him from doing so.
“I don’t know that the national conference issues will even join; without people like him and other leaders there, that wouldn’t happen because they initially thought I wanted to manipulate the system.
“I remember having problems at the beginning. Some people came to me and they said President. Can you tell us if there are some areas of interest to you? I said, look, I can’t even tell you; you have more experience than me. You are the leader, the Supreme Court Justice; more than 50% of the members have more experience than me. It’s a kind privilege of being kind and it makes me do it by setting up a consab.”
He said people still mentioned the meeting today, urging to revisit whenever problems arise.
However, Jonathan described the death of Afenifere leader, Adebanjo chief, and Edwin Clark chief, Pandef leader, Edwin Clark, almost at the same time, a major loss to Nigeria, as they are people with courage and wisdom who have good meaning to the country.
He said it was shocking to have both of them die at the same time, as they worked together for the benefit of Nigeria.
Jonathan said the late chief Adebanjo is an upright man dedicated to the growth and development of Nigeria to benefit all.
He noted that people like him participated in the 2014 conference he successfully convened.
