- Buhari's failure to implement 2014 confab report has been described as a great disservice to the nation
- According Jerry Gana, non-implementation of the confab report was largely responsible for some of the growing agitations in the country - However, Gana said he believed strongly in a united Nigeria, where justice and fairness were served to everyone irrespective of political or religious inclinations

A former Minister of Information and Culture, Professor Jerry Gana, has described the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to implement the 2014 National Conference report “as a terrible mistake”. Gana, who said the non-implementation of the confab report was largely responsible for some of the growing agitations and disunity across the country, however, said Nigerians were better off together as a people and country.

Gana, who spoke on Sunday in Uvwiamuge, Agbarho, Delta State, during the thanksgiving service to conclude activities marking the 90th anniversary of the Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) Worldwide, said there would hardly be peace in the absence of justice and fairness in any society.

The elder statesman, however, maintained that, he did not share sentiments of persons, who were clamouring for the balkanisation of the country, saying he believed strongly in a united Nigeria, where justice and fairness were served to everyone irrespective of political or religious inclinations.

“We, in the middlebelt of Nigeria, are great lovers of peace, justice and fairness. The last administration convened a national conference in 2014 and we agreed on some certain fundamentals to ensure justice and fairness. Unfortunately, when this government came in, they made a terrible mistake. They never touched that report and that is the problem. “That’s why we are now saying we should start that conversation. We should talk to one another and assure one another of justice and fairness, because without equity, there can’t be peace. Without equity, we cannot be together. Let me appeal to the federal government to promote peace, equity and justice. Let me also appeal to those people, who are agitating that there’s tremendous power in being united. Let’s not fight to scatter and divide Nigeria. We are better being together,” he stated.

He congratulated the Urhobo Nation on the 90th anniversary of UPU, stressing that Urhobo people had played prominent roles in stabilising and promoting the unity of Nigeria.

The former minister, had at an earlier engagement, said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) would be swept out of office in 2023, because it had committed a lot of injustices against humanity, adding that Nigerians were fed up with their leaders. Gana said this at the weekend in Effurun, near Warri, Delta State, while delivering a lecture titled: “Raising 21st Century Leaders for Nigeria” at Youth Arise Conference 2021. The Youth Arise Nigeria Conference with large turnout in attendance from within and Outside Delta was put together by Advocates of Paradigm Shift in Governance. They included Deacon Chris Iyowaye, Hon. Gibson Akporehe, Phillip Adu-Odogwu, Cogent Owhe and Lady E Ejiro Umukoro with the goal of raising the civic and political consciousness of youths in how they engage governance, get their PVC as a civic duty while volunteering and investing their time in being useful citizens rather than be purchaseable electorate.

GEJ started the CONFAB, he could have done it earlier

It was when he see he will be losing the 2015 election, he quickly held a CONFAB in 2014

Less than a year after he was elected the president, GEJ said there is nothing wrong with the way Nigeria is structured, and there is nothing to talk about

Does this make sense to you?

Is Jerry Gana not part of Nigeria’s problem?

Not like Jonathan implemented it o.

But that aside, isn't this the same Gana who whole Yams meant for the completion of the PDP secretariat his here pointing leprous fingers at someone else.

Gana couldnt account for over 21.5Billion donated for the presidential campaign of Jonathan and completion of the pdp secretariat. The project needed just 10 billion for completion, but after all was said and done, below is what the recalcitrant criminals can boast of...

AGIP, should tell us why it is so hard for him and his emergency restructuring advocates to approach their representatives since restructuring is about constitutional amendments? We know this is just a rouse to keep you politicians employed that is why the convener of the confab trashed the report immediately.

JaroMan:

Restructuring of Nigeria is not a party thing. It is expedient.
