Chief Ayo Adebanjo, elder statesman and chieftain of Afenifere, has said that the Yoruba nation will continue to mount pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari until he implements the recommendations of the National Conference.
The Yoruba leader, who stated this in an interview with in Lagos, stressed that the Yoruba of South West Nigeria made presentations at the National Conference which was put together by the former President Goodluck Jonathan administration to forge a way forward for the nation.
He lamented that since he came to power over a year ago, President Buhari’s body language seems to indicate that he wants to jettison the National Conference report put together by 500 people at a huge financial cost to the nation.

According to him, “The South West will continue to mount pressure on the government to implement the National Conference Report. South West made presentations in that conference. If there is something wrong in the confab report, they should look into it. It will amount to throwing the baby away with the bath water.
“You cannot get that 500 people together again. The conference was made up of all the sections of the nation. The women were there, the youths were there, even the religious people were there and others too. The government cannot say that because they did not set up the National Conference they will not implement it. If there is any fault, let them tell us. If there is anything bad in it, they should tell us.”
