Jonathan reiterates commitment to implementation of CONFAB report

President Goodluck Jonathan has again stated his willingness to implement the decisions reached by the delegates at last year's National Conference. Speaking at the flag off of his presidential campaign in Lagos on Thursday, the President noted that the reason why the document has not yet been adopted is because of the crisis facing the present National Assembly. He called on the electorate to ensure that the vote for legislators that will represent them well and see to the implementation of that report.

"The document from that conference, because of the controversy we have in the present National Assembly, you know how chaotic the present Assembly is, we know that if you bring that document to the Assembly they will dump it," the President said.

So we want to present it to the next Assembly. So those people you are sending, if you mean well for this country, you must vote people who can go to the National Assembly, discuss and adopt that document that our leaders have agreed so that this country can move forward.

I stand today in the city of Lagos, in the south west on behalf of the leader of our party, Alhaji Muazu, the Vice President and all the leaders and promise that if you vote the PDP en masse to the National Assembly and to the Presidency, we will adopt that document so that this country will move forward.

That document is to liberate you, we did not influence it, our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters that are credible came up with it.

Ask them, we did not influence it. I did not ask them to dot any `I’ or cross any `T’ because I have no personal interest. My interest is the Nigerian interest.
