We will not Loose Focus - President Jonathan Re-iterates

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan on Monday assured that his administration would never allow itself to be derailed from pursuing the Transformation Agenda to its logical conclusion.

He made the assertion while receiving a high-powered delegation of Middle-Belt and South-South elders under the aegis of the Congress for Equality and Change, led by elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark and former Senate President, Ameh Ebute.

Jonathan said his administration would continue to work diligently to build on the achievements catalogued in its mid-term report to the nation.

He also reaffirmed government’s unwavering commitment to moving Nigeria progressively forward along the path of development articulated in the Transformation Agenda.

While commending the elders for “working tirelessly to bring us to where we are today” and for their continued support as he promising that “as our leaders, we will continue to do our best to justify the confidence you have reposed in us.”

Jonathan thanked the Middle Belt and South-South regions of the country for their contributions to national unity, noting that the unity of the country depended on the cooperation of all.

Chief Clark had earlier told the President that the Congress for Equality and Change, formed in 2010, was made up of 13 states in the North and six states in the South where there are minority ethnic groups.

Also speaking, the co-leader of the delegation and Chairman of the Congress, Senator Ebute, said that the group is committed to promoting the equality of all Nigerians, adding that this commitment informed the total support given to President Jonathan in 2010 and 2011. - Tribune
