NONSENSE. You are in power for almost 6 years, you didn't implement anything. you are now accusing someone else for your ineptitude after that you were cast out of power...

The confab was August 2014 and less than a year later he lost the election..so how could he have successfully implemented it..

GET ineptitude should not be heaped on PMB, because GET was in the best position to implement what he initiated after all he had time enough to have done so, but because he was busy looting knowing fully well that he would not come back,he his wife and Desiani were busy looting then.Now blaming your ineptitude on PMB is a gross sin.Ologogoro.

Sorry! If Jonathan made this statement, then his people should hold him accountable. He's a big fool for pushing the future of the SS in the hands of the north.

Lordbricks:

Don't defend nonsense. GEJ was a weak fool who always waited on the north for approval. His Presidency was a big mistake that didn't favour the South.

this one still get mouth to talk after all the money wey him mama thief. idiot

SoNature:
He said all the issues were discussed as he gave them the freedom to discuss all

The statement above is false!
Jonathan made it clear that secession was off the table!

Again, not implementing the recommendation of the conference was hypocrisy at its best!
Why didn't Jonathan implement it the minute the white paper was released?
He should never have waited to win the 2015 elections before implementing the recommendation.
Nigeria lacks good leaders.
No, Jonathan was never a good leader!

There is no way Jonathan could have implemented that report without the national assembly in full attendance as the report touched on constitutional change which only the national assembly has powers to change

Didn't the sponsors of the Confab ask GEJ to make the conference sovereign, so that any recommendations made automatically becomes law. The senate could easily be lobbied to toe in line. But the daft of Otuoke selfishly thought otherwise. He followed his selfish plans.

Jona-daft is drunk again. This slowpoke needs to get lost.

openmine:
Government is a continuum.... hence,even if GEJ failed to implement the confab,the next government should have done so!

It thus follow that, if PMB fail to implement it, next government shall do so.......according to your logic.

Why didn't he implement it? It makes no sense blaming someone else for something you had the power to do.

Chiwude:

Jonathan could not have made the that conference sovereign because the core North have long refused to attend any sovereign national conference.

No!
Marriage is not by force.
Even in the Bible, the conditions for divorce were defined; this is something that Nigeria needs.
There must be terms and conditions for pulling out of this contraption called Nigeria.
Yes, the Confab should have been allowed to define that.

You have time replying these foo*ls that think Nigeria is inseparable

TGM2015:
Why did Jonathan not start the implementation? Jonathan as a president had absolute majority support of the NASS, the implementation would have been easier and fast tracked with the backing of the NASS.

And I am sure he did forget that 2014 CONFAB resolutions can not been implemented with the NASS as the critical and most important resolutions will require amendments of Constitution and revelation laws. So, the calls for consideration and implementation should be directed to NASS and state assemblies.

Because he only did it to in the hope of winnning SW votes. He forgot that some of the SW elders that he aligned with have a history of selling out and had become irrelevant in the SW and only alogned with him to collect money and because they were Tinubu's opponents.

Oga u messed up jare, you were the commander in chief, you had d senate under you. Even if you were not on good terms with Obasanjo, u shuld have reached out to him on how to hold the senate to ransom so as so make sure they approved the implementation of the CONFAB report. Except you are not telling us if the northern bigots in ur govt also held u to ransom underG os its politics and so many tins go on underground dat we dnt knw. For example, patricia etteh as the speaker of house of reps was smtin dat did not go dwn well with the north reason been dat dey dont everly bliv in a woman leading dem, so they set her up and she fell for it, dis i got to realise from the story behind that woman dat won governorship election in one of the northern states because they wuld rather have a man as their governor hence they declared the election "inconclusive" and later gave it to a man.

Why didn't you implement it?

His Objective for Nigeria was Ruga-Settlement so he took advantage of your failure to implement your Confab-Report.
You are still a youngman and you have acquired better experience so come back 2023 to mend and repair all the Democratic Damages done by Buhari. God will vote for you.

GEJ, sir no just tow that line again for us. We all know APC/Buhari wasn't interested in the conference and they abstained from it from beginning to the end.
You were given the report in August 2014, the recommendation is of two folds; one is that of legislation while the other is executive order/policy.
The question is why didn't you implement the executive part of the conference recommendation if you are truly sincere about it?

Did you continue yaradua 7 point agenda......only fools give excuses for there failures...... you were in power for six years getting drunk and dashing out money like the prodigal son.

I don't like this present govt.....but your govt was the worst in Nigeria democracy history..... because I know a man infact he is a medical doctor that knew D's man way back ....he had the opportunity to pay good luck a visit in 2012 and D's man gave him a cheque of 5million for just visiting.....Even the Dr was shocked himself

Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday gave reasons why he could not implement the report of the 2014 national conference before vacating office On May 29 20115

He also said Nigeria would have made significant progress if President Muhammadu Buhari had implemented a part of the reports of the conference.

Jonathan, who spoke at the launching and presentation of the Memoirs of Senator Femi Okurounmu at the University of Lagos titled ‘The Dream’ , said that the report was handed over to him on 21 August 2014, at a time members of the National Assembly were busy running around for re-election.
While noting the role played by Okurounmu at the conference, Jonathan, who was the chairman of the occasion, said the conference was conveyed in accordance with the yearnings of Nigerians for dialogue to reconcile ethnic differences.

He said all the issues were discussed as he gave them the freedom to discuss all and that the recommendations were far-reaching in setting an agenda for today and tomorrow.

According to the former president, the conference took out politics and that the recommendations would have taken Nigeria out of the woods.

Adamant and self centred buhari can never implement it cos he and others thrive on our division and that would be the end of him

sharrrrap it seems u just heard inept since Donald talk am u no free commit mouth, call a spade what it is Jonathan failed cos he was unable to stop the killings in the north and that vexed us but Buhari's performance is beyond failure there should be another word ehn ehn his tenure but the legit and illegit tenure all a disaster he could have implemented that CONFAB as it is dear to Nigerians and instrumental in ensuring unity and patriotism but the dullard won't cos he abd APC even PDP thrives on our division

franchasng:
Jonathan for saying this nonsense, I am sorry to say YOU ARE A MAD MAN!

What stopped you from implementing it in 2014 before the elections Unless you can show us confirmed proof that Northern dominated lawmakers stopped you from implementing the CONFAB report, if not, shutup and sit down one place because you were a lily livered President that gave the opportunity for this wicked, heartless, incompetent, hate-filled, terrorist sponsoring, tribalistic, religious bigot, cow loving good for nothing old man to ever become President of over 200 million people, you caused it, so STFO!!!

One of the reasons why I haven't quoted your comments on politics since I started following you is coz I wasn't following you during the Jonathan era. I see alot of your comments about Buhari's failed administration, I usually ask myself if this guy also criticized Jonathan when he was president, coz most Ibos supported Jonathan blindly.
But this comment you just made, just showed me that u criticized Jonathan the same way you criticize Buhari now. Many Ibos criticizing Buhari now failed to criticize Jonathan. That's why I ask many of my Ibo friends why they kept mute when Jonathan was ruling this country with crass incompetence, then suddenly found thier voices now.
For me, I was very critical during Jonathan's era, I am even more critical during Buhari's era, I can't wait for this present regime to get out of power.
Jonathan had the opportunity to better the fortunes of southern Nigeria, but he threw it in the gutters.
Buhari is now showing Jonathan how to be a nepotic and tribalistic president, by favouring only the Fulanis. Jonathan must be biting his fingers now.

If not for anything else, Jona should be jailed for wasting the nation’s resources on a powerless debate which he christened “confab”. More like a few Nigerians enjoying a prolonged gist on issues they had no powers to modify.

It did not have the blessing of the Legislators (who could have granted it powers of an actual referendum).

Even the drunken master Jona did not follow the recommendations of his townhall meeting. Joker.

The confab was not just an exercise in futility but a ruse to pay allowances to a set of pseudo legislators duplicating the functions of our National Assembly.

All biafrans hail the Hero of democracy

Why didn't he implement it or part of the report before the end of his administration, this comment from GEJ with all due respect to him is hypocritical

erinalex:

Did buhari abandon the railway project that was implemented by GEJ?
will you abandon a laudable project or proposal simply because your predecessor didn't implement it?

You organised contact in 2014 and u never implement it till u were voted out in 2015, a year after and yet u want Buhari to do that. What a shame!

True talk. Nigeria would have progressed if any of our past governments implemented the confab held during their time or even earlier but none has the balls including Jonathan himself and Buhari.

2mch:
GEJ you had time to implement it but you were waiting for re-election and you did not want to take away from your northern votes. You were selfish, corrupt, desperate and self serving. I am sure you learned a bitter lesson. Always do what is right. Just like Yoruba’s. They will chop your money but will do what they feel is right.

And dey did wot was right by voting for d one who has divided d country and will continue to divide d country
