FEMI Fani-Kayode, former minister of aviation, has said that former President Goodluck Jonathan still has so much to offer Nigeria.

He stated this at a meeting Jonathan had with former ministers still in the Peoples Democratic Party who served between 1999 and 2015.

Describing Jonathan as a great leader who encouragef many Nigerians, Fani-Kayode said, “the future is great for us, for PDP and this country.”

At the meeting Jonathan called for peace and unity in the country, stressing that without peace, Nigeria would not develop. He also urged Nigerians to pray and work toward the nation’s unity, as Muslims celebrate Eid-el-Fitr.

“We should always use this period to know that the unity of the country is paramount. We cannot develop as a nation, no matter how people demonstrate, and no president can do magic, if there is tension in the land.

“This is because, immediately there is sense of insecurity in any country, investors will go back and when investors go back, of course, the economy will dwindle. What improves the economy is confidence and what makes investors to have confidence is peace,” he said.
