Nigerians was: “How will Nigeria be governed constitutionally, legitimately without unnecessary aches and pains of its diversity.
“And this needs to be addressed constitutionally, so that we can build a nation that we can proudly hand over a banner without stain to our children,” he said, referencing the National Anthem.
Tinubu told Anyaoku that he would be invited again for a more detailed conversation on the submissions of The Patriot.
“As you present this, just believe that it will be reviewed, and I commit myself to the belief that you want a stable and prosperous Nigeria,” President Tinubu concluded.
In his remarks, Anyaoku said The Patriots organised a well-attended colloquium in March, where it was unanimously agreed that Nigeria needed a new people’s constitution.
He expressed confidence in President Tinubu’s ability to lead the constitutional transformation, citing his personal record as one of the greatest champions of Nigeria’s struggle for democracy. (NAN)
