Jonathan, who made the call on Friday in Abuja at the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation’s policy dialogue, said that if diversity is well harnessed, it would be a source of greatness.
NAN quoted him as saying: “As president and out of office, I have been involved in managing conflicts in many African countries,”

“Our diversity is often misconstrued to be the source of our challenges, but I feel, if properly harnessed, it will be the source of our greatness.
