Former President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday called for the institutionalization of the appointment of Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other members to give more credibility to the elections conducted by the commission.

 

Jonathan spoke in Lagos during the public presentation of a book, titled: “The Dream: Pursuing the Black Renaissance through the Murky Waters of Nigerian Politics,” written by Senator Femi Okurounmu.

 

The former President also called on the government to implement the constitutional conference convened by his administration, which he belives will solve most of the country’s immediate challenges.

 

He said his administration could not implement the recommendations of the confab because of time constraint as the 2015 electioneering had reached its pinnacle.

 

Jonathan said “I believe the constitutional conference will solve our immediate challenges.

 

“The conference was conducted one year to the end of my tenure. We did not have the time, even the National Assembly which supposed to validate the report was busy with political survival.
