President Bola Tinubu has promised the convocation of a national constituent Assembly with the mandate to draft a new constitution will be reviewed.
He made the promise while playing host to the members of a group led by Chief Emeka Anyaoku, former Commonwealth Secretary-General, at the State House on Friday, August 9.
Tinubu said: “I have listened to you carefully, and this is not a group that I can ignore. This is a group of patriots reflecting the heart and aspirations of society. I thank all of you for being here.
“I have faced the challenge of this democracy that I inherited from your struggles. I must recognise the fact that these challenges are most required for good governance.
“We have no other choice, and I believe also that it is most difficult to manage the twist and turns of democratic governance.
“I want to assure all of you that as I listened to your two major requests on the path to referendum and that should lead to constitutional measures that will fit our diversity and governance so that we avoid conflicts and break-ups.
“I believe in the unity of this country and I want to assure you that whatever is necessary to put happiness and good governance in the hands of all Nigerians is what I would do.”
