A former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Bode George, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to implement the recommendations of the 2014 Constitutional Conference in honour of Chief Ayo Adebanjo and Chief Edwin Clark.
George appealed at a media briefing on Friday in Lagos.
Adebanjo, the late leader of the Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere, who died at 96 on 14 February, will be buried today (Saturday) in Ogun State.
Similarly, Clark, the late Niger Delta leader, who died at 97 on 17 February, will be buried on 13 May in Delta State.
Both deceased nationalists are said to have inspired and participated in the 2014 Constitutional Conference convened by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Speaking on how to immortalise the duo, George said the best way to honour them was to release and implement the resolutions into which they invested all their life’s experience, in the national interest.
The retired naval commodore and former military governor of Ondo State said he had become closer to Adebanjo and Clark during the Confab, having worked with them in the same sub-committee on what constitutional system should be adopted.
George said, “Mr President, I am appealing to you today, May 2 to release the report of the 2014 Confab for the benefit of the people of this country, in memory of the two old men, to immortalise their names.
“These people (Adebanjo, Clark, and other elder statesmen) are crying to Tinubu to release and implement that report.
“The report was unanimously agreed upon at the plenary session by the delegates. That is where we can achieve peace.
