NIGERIA ALSO NEEDS A REFERENDUM; BUHARI CANNOT THROW CONFAB REPORT

Kukah spoke to journalists ahead of the Fixing Nigeria Initiative event, slated for June 16, 2016 in Abuja, aimed at strengthening Nigeriaa��s governance system and addressing critical leadership challenges confronting the nation.

He contended that the resolutions and recommendations inherent in the National Conference Report were sacrosanct in engendering a sustainable and peaceful nation devoid of rancor, and therefore, could not be dismissed or thrown away to the garbage hip of history.

The Bishop, who was Co-Secretary of the National Conference, took time to explain the imperatives of the 2014 National Conference Report, arguing that a�?the president cannot throw it (report) away; archives are archives. Thank God he did not say he will throw it into the dustbin.

a�?We are not in a military regime. The president cannot wake up and say the National Assembly should be closed. A lot of the powers have been taken from the President,a�? he added.

Kukaha��s position came on the heels of comments credited to President Buhari where he was quoted to have stated that a�?I havena��t even bothered to read it or ask for a briefing on it, and I want it to go into the so-called archives.a�?
