President Jonathan assures his commitment to transformation agend

President Goodluck Jonathan has said his government will keep focusing on delivering the Transformation agenda to Nigerians and will never allow itself to be derailed from pursuing it to a logical conclusion. He said this on Monday while receiving a high-powered delegation of the Congress for Equality and Change led by elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark and former Senate President, Ameh Ebute. Chief Clark told the President that the Congress for Equality and Change, formed in 2010, is made up of 13 states in the North and six states in the South where there are minority ethnic groups. President Jonathan asserted the Federal Government’s unwavering commitment to moving Nigeria forward and pledged that his administration will continue working diligently to build on the achievements presented in its mid-term report to the nation. He commended the visiting elders for “working tirelessly to bring us to where we are today,” and for their continued support, promising that “as our leaders, we will continue to do our best to justify the confidence you have reposed in us.” President Jonathan thanked the Middle Belt and South-South regions of the country for their contributions to national unity, stressing that the unity of this country “depends on the cooperation of all.” Also adding his voice, the co-leader of the group Senator Ebute, said that the group is committed to promoting the equality of all Nigerians saying that this commitment informed the total support given to President Jonathan in 2010 and 2011. While commending the Mid-Term Scorecard of the Jonathan Administration, Senator Ebute said that the scorecard had encouraged the Congress “to go out and showcase the achievements and ask Nigerians to continue to support President Jonathan to accomplish more for the nation.”
