The Senate’s decision was sequel to a motion sponsored by the Leader of Senate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, on the need for National Unity and Peaceful Co-existence in Nigeria.
The National Conference was set up by the regime of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Jonathan had promised to implement the recommendations if he was re-elected.
However, his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was defeated by the All Progressives Congress (APC), which had Muhammadu Buhari as presidential candidate.
