Primate Henry Ndukuba, leader of the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion, has urged President Bola Tinubu to prioritize the creation of a new constitution for the nation. According to Ndukuba, Tinubu's most lasting legacy would be establishing a solid foundation for democratic governance through this effort.

He emphasized that the new constitution should address the concerns raised at previous Sovereign National Conferences and respond to ongoing calls for restructuring the country. The Primate cautioned that avoiding this responsibility would be equivalent to "postponing doomsday."

In his presidential address at the 19th Standing Committee Meeting of the church, held at St. Andrew’s Basilica in the Nike Diocese on September 19, 2024, Ndukuba assessed the state of the nation, highlighting that Nigeria is plagued by various persistent challenges.

He stated that the proposed constitution would tackle the root causes of the "xenophobic agitation of the citizens." Ndukuba also praised the National Assembly for its work in amending the military-imposed constitution, which he believes will pave the way for a new constitution crafted by the sovereign assembly representing the "people of Nigeria."

Signed:

Folu Olamiti, Director of Media, Office of the Primate.
