Abuja — AHEAD of the review of the 1999 Constitution, President Goodluck Jonathan vowed, yesterday, that he will abide by the wishes and desires of the people of Nigeria.
Speaking during the celebration of former Vice President Alex Ekwueme's 80th birthday at an international colloquium organised in his honour, Jonathan noted that the challenge before the nation was for Nigerians to agree to commit themselves to the development, growth and survival of Nigeria.
The event which had as its theme, "Nigerian Federalism: Building on the Ekwueme Legacy," took place at the Thisday Dome, Abuja.
The President who spoke through the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, however, described Ekwueme as a bridge-builder, adding that he was the architect of Nigeria's democracy, father of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and a great star of our time.
Jonathan who also said Ekwueme was a clean personality that could not be stained by politicians, stressed that he came out of office poorer than he was before he became the nation's number two citizen from 1979-1983.
The president urged Nigerians to be patriotic and support the country, adding: "I have no personal opinion on how Nigeria will be structured, but I will abide by what Nigerians want.
