Former President, Goodluck Jonathan, has urged leaders in
Nigeria to value the interest of every section of the nation in order to build
a united nation devoid of agitation, disunity and disenchantment.
Jonathan spoke on Saturday when he led members of the 1981
set of the University of Port Harcourt Alumni Association, to the king of Opume
kingdom in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa, King Amalate Turner, NAN
reports.
The former president described Nigeria as being blessed with
both human and natural endowments which can only be enjoyed in a peaceful
atmosphere.
Jonathan urged leaders to focus more on building a united
nation where no one tribe or society should be more valued than the other.
He said, “If leaders derail, then there is bound to be
disunity and disenchantment from those who feel not being accorded their
rightful respect and value.”
Jonathan, who is an alumnus and a member of the pioneer
graduate class of 1981 of the University of Port Harcourt, said the reunion
programme was part of activities of the alumni aimed at fostering bond among
old classmates.
According to him, it is also a platform to deliberate on
issues affecting their alma mater and give back to the school and society in
general.
On his part, King Turner said it is a good thing to reunite
his classmates after 40 years of separation.
