Jonathan, while receiving the report of the conference from its Chairman, Justice Idris Kutigi, in Abuja on Thursday, however added that the Executive would implement any aspect of the report that concerns it.
He said, “As I receive the report of your painstaking deliberations, let me assure you that your work is not going to be a waste of time and resources.
“We shall do all we can to ensure the implementation of your recommendations which have come out of consensus and not by divisions.
“The discourse reflected our latest challenges. We shall send the relevant aspects of your recommendations to the Council of State and the National Assembly for incorporation into the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. On our part, we shall act on those aspects required of us in the Executive.”
The President said what was left was for the elected ones to do their own job.
He added, “As I receive the report of your painstaking deliberations, let me assure that your work is not going be a waste of time and resources.
“We shall do all we can to ensure the implementation of your recommendations which have come out of consensus and not by divisions.”
